Known hours but unknown minutes
Unknown
Remarks:
Code midnight as “2400.” If unknown minutes, code the actual hour and “99” for the
minutes. One minute after midnight is coded “0001.”
If the day of the accident and the day of EMS Notification do not have the same date,
then be sure to use code “18” in RELATED FACTORS-Accident Level (A39).
How to Code Midnight:
In general, code midnight as “2400.” However, there may be confusion over which day
midnight falls into. It is key to remember that in FARS, midnight or 2400 is taken to be
the beginning of a new day, and never the end of a day. This may not be the practice
followed in your sources. Therefore, you have to determine which part of the day is
being considered in your sources.
End of Day
If your data sources give you an ACCIDENT DATE and are consistent in talking about
the end of that day, when they give the time of the accident as “midnight,” “12:00midnight,” “24:00” or “00:00,” then you should code ACCIDENT TIME as “2359.”
Beginning of Day
If your sources give an ACCIDENT DATE and are consistent in referring to the
beginning or early moments of that day when they give an accident time, code
midnight as “2400.”

(such as Interstate, U.S. Highway, or State Route), use the following guideline to code the
highway elements:
• Code Trafficway Identifier and Roadway Function Class for the Interstate, US
Highway or State Route
• Code Route Signing “7 - Frontage Road”
• Code the highway characteristics (Trafficway Flow, Number of Lanes, Speed
Limit, Traffic Controls) for the Frontage Road
Make sure to include the highway designation in Trafficway Identifier when using Code
“7.” See “Trafficway Identifier” (A13).
If the Frontage Road is a separate trafficway, code all highway elements for that

only the State Highway then code ROUTE SIGNING as “1-Interstate,” enter
“I-” in the first two spaces of TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER followed by the
full State Highway Identifier as normal (including any letters.) Code the State
Highway MILEPOINT.
e.g.; If California business loop (CA215) is also Interstate 15, then code
“I-SR215” or “I-CA215.”
(b) If the TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER and MILEPOINT are available for
both the State Highway and the Interstate Highway, enter “I-” in the first two

E.g.; “I-15” (SR215) or “I-15” (CA215)
Similarly, if a State Highway is also a US Highway, ROUTE SIGNING must always
be coded “2-US Highway.” You should always try to obtain the route number and
milepoint that correspond to the ROUTE SIGNING (US Highway).
(a) If the TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER and MILEPOINT are available only
for the State Highway, then code ROUTE SIGNING as “2-US Highway,” enter
“US-” in the first three spaces of TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER followed by
the full State Highway Identifier as normal (including any letters). Code the
State Highway MILEPOINT.
E.g.; If Florida Route 25 is also US Route 27, then code “US-SR25” or

Remarks:
“Global Position” refers to the geographic location of the accident. It is expressed in
Degrees, Minutes and Seconds of Latitude; and Degrees, Minutes and Seconds of
Longitude:
Latitude:
Longitude:
dd mm ss.ss (Degrees/Minutes/Seconds)
ddd mm ss.ss (Degrees/Minutes/Seconds)
In some instances your source documents may display Longitude as a negative (-)
number. You may disregard the minus (-) sign.
The state PAR may include the geographic location in a format compatible with this
element, or the State Highway Department may be able to provide it from a state
Geographic Information System (GIS) or Global Positioning System (GPS).
If data is not available, code all 8’s. For example, if you are in a state that does not
collect or record geographic location coordinates, the data is not available.
If data is unknown, code all 9’s. For example, if you are in a state that does record
geographic location coordinates, but you don’t have those coordinates, the data is
unknown.
Code the complete valid Latitude and Longitude, if available, if not blank and if not
unknown. You must code valid Latitude or Longitude minutes and seconds when
coding a valid value for Latitude or Longitude degrees. (For example, Latitude- 38
99 99.99 is invalid.)
Right-Justify Degrees and Minutes:
Note that Longitude Degrees can be up to three digits. Code Degrees less than
three digits in the right-most positions and “0’s” to the left. Code Latitude or
Longitude Minutes less than two digits in the right-most position with “0s” to
the left. Examples: Longitude “77 degrees - 7 minutes - no seconds” is coded
077 07 00.00; Longitude “80 degrees - no minutes - no seconds” is coded 080 00
00.00; Latitude “30 degrees - one minute - 30 seconds” is coded 30 01 30.00.
Latitude and Longitude Seconds :
Code the value of Latitude or Longitude Seconds to two significant places after
the decimal. If the Latitude or Longitude Seconds precision is less than two
decimal positions, enter “0s” in the right-most positions of Seconds. Always
right-justify any data before the decimal point with added “0’s” to the left (e.g.,
5.1 seconds is 05.10 with no spaces before the decimal point).

Remarks:
Definition: The first property damage (including to vehicles) or injury-producing event.
In accidents involving harmful events caused by objects set-in-motion by a Motor
Vehicle in Transport, remember that a vehicle’s load is considered part of the vehicle.
For example, if cargo falls from a truck (in transport) and strikes another vehicle in
transport, this is treated as a two-vehicle accident. Therefore, the proper First Harmful
Event code is “12 -Motor Vehicle in Transport.” Remember when this happens to use
the Special Circumstances code in RELATED FACTORS-ACCIDENT LEVEL-A39
(code “14”) and RELATED FACTORS-VEHICLE LEVEL-V34 (code “34”).
58
2001
Go Back
A17
Code 01 (Overturn) is used when a vehicle rotates 90o or more, side-to-side or end-toend, producing the first damage or injury. For motorcycles, laying the motorcycle down
on its side is sufficient to code overturn if damage or injury is produced.
Code 04 (Gas Inhalation) includes injury or death from carbon monoxide fumes
leaking from a motor vehicle in transport.
Code 05 (Fell from Vehicle) is used when falling or jumping (not suicide) from the
vehicle is the first event causing damage or injury. For example, a passenger of a motor
vehicle in transport leans against the car door, it opens and the passenger falls out and is
injured by the fall.
Code 06 (Injured in Vehicle). Use where an occupant is injured during an
unstabilized situation without a collision. Examples: a pick-up truck stops short and
its load crashes through passenger compartment injuring or killing driver; or a part
of the engine comes loose and bounces back into its own vehicle.
Code 07 (Other Non-Collision). As an example, driving off a cliff where damage is
not the result of an overturn or collision with an object (see Related Factor-Vehicle
Level code “38 – Airborne”).
Code 11 (Animal) is used for collisions with animals (domesticated or wild) that are
not themselves being used as transportation or to draw a wagon, cart or other transport
device (see ANSI D16.1). See code “49” for ridden animals and animals drawing
transport devices.
Code 12 (Motor Vehicle in Transport). Also use this code for cases in which a
vehicle strikes a vehicle working as equipment (not a motor vehicle in transport) and
sets a portion or former occupant of the working vehicle into another motor vehicle in
transport.
Code 13 (Motor Vehicle in Transport in Other Roadway) differs from Code “12” in
that it applies to events where a vehicle leaves one roadway and enters a different
roadway, having a collision with a motor vehicle in transport in a different roadway.
Example: one vehicle travels across the median of a divided highway, enters oncoming
traffic and is struck; or, when a vehicle traveling on an overpass, leaves the trafficway
and strikes or is struck by vehicle traveling on a trafficway below.
Code “13” should not be used in an at intersection accident (where the First
Harmful Event occurs in the intersection).
Code 14 (Parked Motor Vehicle) refers to the collision of a motor vehicle in transport
with a motor vehicle not in transport. Parked motor vehicle includes vehicles parked
outside the roadway and those parked in the roadway in lanes not designated for travel
at the time of accident. (Do not include Vehicle/Driver Level information for the parked
vehicle. Do include Person Level information if there were occupants in the vehicle).
Occupants of parked motor vehicles are coded “Non-motorists.”
2001
59
Go Back
A17
Code l5 (Other Non-Motorist) wheelchair occupant, skateboarders, human propelled
sled riders, as an example.
Code 16 (Thrown or Falling Object) is a non-collision event and, unless there is
another collision during the accident, IMPACT POINTS (V20) for the vehicle involved
must be coded “00.” Examples: Falling tree/rock, dropping/throwing something off
bridge, throwing a snowball. However, it does not have to come from above. Excludes
Cataclysms.
Code 17 (Boulder) is a rock of sufficient mass that when struck by a motor vehicle
moves very little and remains basically intact. It may be considered as a fixed object.
Code 18 (Other Object, Not Fixed) e.g., fallen tree, already laying in roadway;
construction cones or barrels on road (temporary).
See Code “45” for transport devices used as equipment (i.e., cherry picker at work,
paint striper at work, etc.).
Code 20 (Impact Attenuator) is a device for controlling the absorption of energy
released during vehicle collision (“crash cushions”). Its most common application
involves the protection of fixed roadside objects such as bridge piers, elevated gores at
exit ramps, etc. Examples include barrels filled with water or sand, and plastic
collapsible structures.
Code 21, (Bridge Pier or Abutment) refers to support structures; most likely to be
struck by vehicles passing under bridges (see code “43-Other Fixed Object” for vehicles
striking the bottom of a bridge while traveling on a trafficway underneath it). If the
vehicle first strikes a concrete barrier protecting a bridge pier or abutment, use code
“25-Concrete Traffic Barrier.”
Bridge Pier - a square or round column of stone, concrete, brick, steel or wood
for supporting a bridge between abutments.
Bridge Abutment - wall supporting the ends of a bridge generally retaining or
supporting the embankment under bridge ends and composed of stone, concrete,
brick or wood. (Includes wing-walls.)
Code 22 (Bridge Parapet End) and code “23” (Bridge Rail) are components of the
upper portion of bridges.
Code 22 (Bridge Parapet End) the end of a low wall which runs along the outer most
edge of the roadway or sidewalk on the bridge and usually composed of brick, stone, or
concrete. Balustrade is often used synonymously with parapet.
Code 23 (Bridge Rail) a wooden, brick, stone, concrete or metal fence-like wall which
runs along the outermost edge of the roadway or sidewalk on the bridge or a rail
constructed along the top of a parapet.
a) Bridges do not need to support another roadway. It may be an overpass for a
train or even for a viaduct (water conduit).
b) See bridge components diagram on next page for bridge codes “21, 22 and
23.”

c) Barriers as in codes “24, 25 and 26” refer to a physical structure such as a
guardrail, a concrete safety barrier or a rock wall which has the primary function
of preventing cross-median travel by deflecting and redirecting vehicles along the
roadway on which they were traveling. Therefore, trees, curbing, rumble strips
and drain depressions are not barriers.

Code 24 (Guardrail) is a low barrier running along the edge of a road shoulder either
on the right or the left and which has the primary longitudinal structure composed of
metal (plates, cable, mesh, box beam, etc.).
A guardrail is differentiated from Code “25-Concrete Traffic Barrier” by the
material making up the greatest part of the longitudinal portion of the structure.
In the case of guardrails, this is metal whereas in concrete barriers this is
concrete (including concrete rails).
Code 25 (Concrete Traffic Barrier). Refers to the longitudinal traffic barriers
constructed of concrete and located on the outside of the road surface, in a median, or in
gore areas. This includes all temporary concrete barriers regardless of location (i.e.,
temporary Jersey Barrier on a bridge being used to control traffic during bridge
repair/construction). Concrete walls (vertical side surfaces) do not apply here, see code
“39-Wall.”
When a vehicle is traveling under a bridge and strikes a concrete barrier used to protect
the bridge pier or abutment, use code “25.”
Code 26 (Other Longitudinal Barriers) is used for all other barriers such as wood or
rock and unknown barrier composition types.

Code 27 (Highway/Traffic Sign Post/Sign) is used when the post supporting a traffic
sign, or the sign itself, is hit by a motor vehicle in transport. Includes mile markers.
(See Code “46” for traffic signal supports.)
Code 28 (Overhead Sign Support/Sign) is used when the sign supported is above the
highway. The difference between codes “27” and “28” is the location of the sign
(overhead or the side of the road).
Code 29 ( Luminarie/Light Support) refers to supports for highway lighting systems,
not including other private lighting systems (e.g., parking lot lights). Support does not
include other fixed objects to which lighting is affixed (e.g., telephone poles).
Code 30 (Utility Pole) Electrical, Telephone, Cable & other utility pole-type supports.
Code 31 (Other Post, Other Pole, or Other Supports) is used for posts other than
highway signs. (E.g., reflectors on poles along side of roadway, mailbox posts,
parking meters, flag poles, etc.)
Code 32 (Culvert) is any structure entirely under the roadway (driveway or
entranceway) and less than 20 feet in span measured along the center line of the
roadway.
Code 33 (Curb) a concrete or asphalt structure up to l2 inches in height which borders
the roadway. It provides drainage control and pavement edge delineation. The face of
the curb may be sloped or vertical. Be careful that the PAR provides some indication
that damage has occurred when a vehicle strikes a curb.
Codes 35-37 (Embankments) are raised structures to hold back water, to carry a
roadway, or the result of excavation or washout (including erosion) that may be faced
with earth (Code “35”) or rock (sometimes called a berm), stone or concrete (code
“36”). An embankment can usually be differentiated from a wall by its incline, whereas
a wall is usually vertical. However, there are exceptions; such as a retaining wall which
may be inclined or a vertical embankment caused by a natural event such as a washout.
In accidents involving a field approach or crossing, if in doubt about when to use codes
“32, 34” (Culvert/Ditch) or codes “35-37” (Embankment), use this criteria:
a)
Use code “32, 34” if the driver would not have been able to recover from
the ditch even if there had been no field approach (crossing).
b)
Use code “35, 36, 37” if the driver would have been able to recover from
the ditch, but struck the field approach (crossing) prior to doing so.
c)
Use code “35, 36, 37” if it is not known whether or not the driver could
be recovered from the ditch and a field approach (crossing) is involved.
Code 38 (Fence) includes the fence posts. A fence can be made of wood, chain link,
stone, etc. (not shrub hedges serving as containment for property).
62
2001
Go Back
A17
Code 39 (Wall) is a primarily vertical (+ 15° from vertical) structure composed of
concrete, metal, timber, or stone which is not part of a building or a fence but typically
is used for retaining earth, abating noise, and separating areas but not for containment as
in the primary function of a fence). Also not included as walls are wing-walls, which are
attached to ends of bridge abutments and extend back at an angle from the roadway.
Wing-walls should be coded as code “21.”
Code 43 (Other Fixed Object) This is used when the object is fixed (considered a
permanent structure) and is not described by any of the other fixed object codes.
Includes striking the bottom of a bridge while traveling on a trafficway underneath it.
Includes utility wires and “guy” wires attached to utility poles.
Code 45 (Transport Device used as Equipment) includes cherry picker at work,
paint stripper stripping road, tractor mowing grass on trafficway, snow plow plowing
snow, etc.
Code 47 (Vehicle Occupant Struck or Run Over by Own Vehicle) Use when
occupant falls or comes out of vehicle and is struck or run over by that vehicle. Does not
apply to occupants ejected during overturns.
Code 48 (Snow Bank) Used when snow fall and/or road plowing creates essentially
fixed barriers of snow/ice which are not snow-covered earth or rock embankments.
Code 49 (Ridden Animal or Animal-Drawn Conveyances) is used for collisions with
animals being used as transportation. This includes ridden animals and animals (or
teams of animals) drawing a transport device (e.g., a horse drawing a sleigh, a team of
horses drawing a stage coach, etc.)
Code 99 (Unknown) This is used when it is not known what the First Harmful Event is.
For example, if a series of harmful events occurred, and it’s unclear which was first.

Remarks:
Refers only to accidents in which the FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is a collision between
two motor vehicles in transport (codes “12 and 13”).
A head-on collision is one in which the front end of one vehicle collides with the front
end of another vehicle, while the two vehicles are traveling in opposite directions. It
also applies to those cases in which the direction of force was head-on immediately
preceding the collision. For example, two vehicles are traveling in opposite directions.
One vehicle slides into the path of the other, hitting it at an angle. Although the actual
impact was not head-on, the important fact is that the direction of force was, and thus
should be coded as a head-on collision.
Sideswipe, code “5 or 6,” may be applied if the following are true for both vehicles
involved in the First Harmful Event.
1.
The initial engagement does not overlap the corner of either vehicle by
more than four inches, so that there is no significant involvement of the front or
rear surface areas.
2.
There is no pocketing of the impact in the suspension areas. The impact
then swipes along the surface of the vehicle parallel to the direction of travel.
3.
4.
2001
There is low retardation of the force along the surface of the vehicle.
Again, these must be true for both vehicles involved in the collision
(with each other), which is the first harmful event.

See ANSI D16.1 Manual for examples, inclusions and exclusions of Trafficway
components.
On Roadway (code 01) - The Roadway is that part of a trafficway designed, improved
and ordinarily used for motor vehicle travel or, where various classes of motor vehicles
are segregated, that part of a trafficway used by a particular class. Separate roadways
may be provided for northbound and southbound traffic or for trucks and automobiles.
The roadway and any shoulder alongside the roadway together make up the road.
A Shoulder (code 02) is that part of a trafficway contiguous with the roadway for
emergency use, for accommodation of stopped vehicles and for lateral support of the
roadway structure. A vehicle stopped completely on the shoulder is considered a parked
motor vehicle and is not counted as a vehicle in a FARS case.
A Median (code 03) is defined as that area of a divided trafficway between parallel
roads separating the travelways for traffic in opposite directions. The principal functions
of a median are to provide the desired freedom from interference of opposing traffic, to
provide a recovery area for out-of-control vehicles, to provide a stopping area in case of
emergencies, to provide for speed change and storage of left-turning and U-turning
2001
77

A20
vehicles, and to minimize headlight glare. Medians may be depressed, raised or flush.
Flush medians can be as little as 4-feet wide between roadway edgelines. Painted
roadway edgelines four (4) or more feet wide denote medians. Medians of lesser width
must have a barrier to be considered a median. Continuous left-turn lanes are considered
medians. Medians do not include “shoulders” and “separators.”
The Roadside (code 04) refers to a location off the roadway, but inside the right-ofway. It is the outermost part of the trafficway, which lay between the outer property line
or other barrier and the edge of the first road encountered in the trafficway.
Off Roadway - Location Unknown (code 06) refers to a location off the roadway, but
its relationship to the right-of-way is not known.
In Parking Lane (code 07) refers to a strip of road located on the roadway, or next to
the roadway, on which parking is permitted. This includes curb-side and edge-ofroadway parking (for example, legal residential parking, city street parking, etc.).
Sometimes a strip of roadway can be designated for parking at certain hours of the day
(parking lane) and for regular travel at other hours (travel lane). This code should not be
used during hours when parking is NOT permitted.
Gore (code 08) is an area of land where two roadways diverge or converge. The area is
bounded on two sides by the edges of the roadways, which join at the point of
divergence or convergence. The direction of traffic must be the same on both of these
roadways. The area includes SHOULDERS or marked pavement if any, between the
roadways. The third side is 60 meters (approximately 200 feet) from the point of
divergence of convergence or, if any other road is within 70 meters (230 feet) of that
point, a line 10 meters (33 feet) from the nearest edge of such road.
Gore Inclusions:
- Areas at rest area entry or exit ramps.
- Areas at truck weight station entry or exit ramps.
- Areas where two main roadways diverge or converge.
- Areas where a ramp and another roadway, or two ramps, diverge or converge.
- Areas where a frontage road and another roadway or two frontage roads,
diverge or converge.
- And others.
Gore Exclusions:
- Islands for channelization of vehicle movements.
- Islands for pedestrian refuge.
- And others.
A Separator (code 10) is the area of a trafficway between parallel roads separating
travel in the same direction or separating a frontage road from other roads (see
Trafficway Diagram in this section). A Separator may be a physical barrier or a
depressed, raised, flush or vegetated area between roads.

Trafficways are not physically divided unless the divider is a median, barrier, or other
constructed device. Pavement markings do qualify. Refer to the definition of a median
under RELATION TO ROADWAY.
All traffic barriers are constructed on a median strip; therefore, if a traffic barrier exists on
a divided highway, code “3” must be used. If it is not known whether or not a barrier
exists, assume one does not and use code “2” (that is, if a median is known to exist).

SPEED LIMIT

Actual Posted or Statutory Miles Per Hour* Except:
00 No Statutory Limit
99 Unknown
Remarks:
Refers to the highway speed limit that is operational at the time and place of the
accident whether physically displayed or not.
Disregard advisory or other speed signs since they do not indicate the legal speed limit.
Acceptable speed limits are in 5 mph increments.
Accurate coding of SPEED LIMIT is extremely important. Do not rely solely on the
Police Accident Report. Check with the State Highway Department as well.
Code 00 - No Statutory Limit - Use this code when there is no posted speed limit and
no law that governs the maximum speed you can drive (dirt roads, private roads open to
the public).
When coding SPEED LIMIT for roadways with two different speed limits (for north
and south-bound lanes), use the speed limit for the direction of travel where the
unstabilized situation begins.
When a roadway has a different speed limit for different types of vehicles, code SPEED
LIMIT the speed limit that is applicable to passenger cars.
EXAMPLE:
A rural Interstate highway has a speed limit of 65 MPH for passenger cars, but the same
road has a 55 MPH speed limit for heavy trucks/buses.
2001
87
Go Back
A23
Circumstance 1:
A single vehicle (passenger car) accident.
SPEED LIMIT A23 = 65 MPH
Circumstance 2:
A single vehicle (Heavy truck/bus) accident.
Circumstance 3:
A two-vehicle accident, (passenger car and heavy truck/bus)
accident.
Logic:
Our statisticians feel that it would be more representative to code the SPEED
LIMIT of the majority of the traffic, namely the passenger car. In addition, they
feel that by identifying the car speed limit of 65 MPH, they can then determine
the truck speed limit by reviewing the state’s speed limit law. (The reverse is
not necessarily true.)
When coding SPEED LIMIT on On-Off Ramps (i.e., when the First Harmful Event
occurs on the ramp), consider the following:
A. When a ramp has a posted Speed Limit - a regulatory (black on white) sign, not an
advisory (black on yellow) one - the posted speed should be coded.
B.
When there is an advisory speed limit or no sign at all, you should:
1.
Check with your State Highway Department to see if there is an implicit speed
limit for all unmarked ramps. If there is, code speed limit.
2.
If there is not; code the speed limit of the controlled access highway.
* Values less than 15 mph are unlikely occurrences and will raise an error flag.

Regulatory signs inform highway users of traffic laws or regulations and indicate the
applicability of legal requirements that would not otherwise be apparent. Warning signs
are used when it is deemed necessary to warn traffic of existing or potentially hazardous
conditions on or adjacent to a highway or street. If there is a question as to which type a
sign is, consult the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) or the
regional CTM. Generally, the appropriate code should be used if a party to the accident
failed to heed the sign, was in a position to be controlled by the sign, or the sign has
some relationship to the accident. For example, code “20 - Stop Sign” for an accident at
a four-legged, two-way stop intersection where a driver fails to stop at the stop sign and
collides with another vehicle. Conversely, at the same intersection, a driver on an
approach not controlled by a stop sign looses control and strikes a utility pole. In this
case, code “20” would not be appropriate. Code “40 - Warning Sign” would be
appropriate for a vehicle that fails to negotiate a curve that is posted with a warning
sign.
Another set of questions arises from the issue of proximity of the device to the accident.
Analysts’ judgment must be applied in these situations. Typical signs which create such
problems are speed limit signs where a party to the accident may be speeding; “Do Not
Pass” signs where a no passing zone extends for miles but is only marked at the
beginning of the zone; Pedestrians, etc. Prohibited signs at entrances to freeways but a
pedestrian accident occurs on the freeway between interchanges; and other such signs
which may pertain to a significant length of road. In these instances, if the accident
occurs within reasonably close proximity of the sign and the sign type is relevant to the
accident then it may be appropriate to code the sign.
Code 05 - Beacon has a single head and flashes as opposed to the rest of codes “01-09”
which have several heads, as in red-yellow-green on colors signal.
If a flashing red beacon appears with a stop sign, the proper code is “05.”
Code 08 should be coded when a School Bus uses flashing lights to control traffic
around the bus, regardless of any additional signs the school bus uses. For example, a
school bus uses flashing lights and a stop sign on an arm to stop traffic around the
school bus.
Advisory speed signs are coded “40.”
Codes “30-39” should only be used if the accident occurred during the time the sign
was in effect.

2 Hit Pedestrian, Non-Motorist, or Occupant
3 Hit Parked Vehicle or Object
Remarks:
This element refers to cases where a vehicle is a contact vehicle in the accident and does
not stop to render aid (this can include drivers who flee the scene on foot). In many
states, the investigating officer will note this in the narrative or check the appropriate
box on the PAR or, in some cases, cite the driver for failing to render assistance. Check
the police accident report carefully for references to hit and run or failure to render aid.
Code 0 if there is no reason to believe a hit and run occurred. Use this code in cases
where the hit and run driver is not one of the major involved parties to the accident. For
example, in a five-car accident, the fifth car barely hits the fourth vehicle and causes
little or no damage to either vehicle, and leaves the scene. If this is the only vehicle of
the five that leaves the scene, then no hit and run occurred.
Code 1 if the hit and run vehicle hit a motor vehicle in transport.
Code 2 if the hit and run vehicle hit a pedestrian or other type of non-motorist. Also use
Code “2” if a driver is cited for leaving the scene when an occupant of his/her
vehicle falls or is struck by that vehicle.
Code 3 if the hit and run vehicle hit a parked motor vehicle, regardless of whether it
contained occupants.
Vehicle, Driver Level and Person Level forms must be submitted for all vehicles,
drivers, and occupants involved in the accident regardless of the fact that it was a hitand-run. In addition, RELATED FACTORS-VEHICLE LEVEL code “31” and
RELATED FACTORS - DRIVER LEVEL code “90” must be used for the hit-and-run
vehicle and driver.

coded “9,” leave the rest of that record blank except for RELATED FACTORS DRIVER LEVEL where all applicable codes should be entered. If coded 1, then nine fill

SCHOOL BUS RELATED
Format: 1 numeric
Element Values:
Blank
0 No
1 Yes*
Remarks:
School Bus – refers to a motor vehicle which satisfies the following criteria:
· externally identifiable to other traffic units as a school/pupil transport vehicle;
· operated or owned by a public or private school-type institution;
· where the institution’s students may range from pre-school through high
school;
· whose occupants, if any, are associated with the institution; and,
· the vehicle is in operations at the time of the accident to and from the school or
on a school-sponsored activity or trip.
Code 1 - YES
This code applies to accidents in which a school bus or a vehicle functioning as a
school bus was directly or indirectly involved.
Vehicles functioning as a school bus may not be externally identifiable as a school/
pupil transport vehicle, but do meet all of the other criteria above and, therefore,
qualify as vehicles used as school buses.
Examples:
1. A transit bus at the time of the accident, used exclusively (no other
passengers except students) to transport students to/from school or schoolrelated activity.
2. Vans or station wagons used by schools to pick up/drop off students only
(does not include a parent picking up/dropping off students in private
vehicles).

The “school bus” does not have to be a traffic unit in the accident, but it must have
been involved in some school-related activity (e.g., children boarding or alighting from
the bus; bus stopping at or pulling from a location of such activity; etc.).
Code 0 - NO
Use this code if it cannot be determined that a school bus or a vehicle functioning as a
school bus was involved.
Also use this code if the “school bus” was merely a “phantom” vehicle in the accident
and was not engaged in activity or movement related to boarding or discharging
passengers (e.g., a motorist claims the school bus ran him off the road but made no
contact; a school bus in the left lane blocks the view of a motorist making a right-turnon-red; etc.)

Definition of Police Pursuit: A pursuit is an event that is initiated when a law
enforcement officer, operating an authorized emergency vehicle, gives notice to stop
(either through the use of visual or audible emergency signals or a combination of
emergency devices) to a motorist who the officer is attempting to apprehend, and that
motorist fails to comply with the signal by either maintaining his/her speed, increasing
speed, or taking other evasive action to elude the officer’s continued attempts to stop the
motorist. A pursuit is terminated when the motorist stops, or when the attempt to
apprehend is discontinued by the officer or at the direction of a competent authority.

bridges, medians, guardrails, traffic barriers).
Blind Intersections due to highway design, not due to
visual obstructions (i.e., shrubbery) etc.
Improper banking, lack of a lane for merging.
Inadequate road surface (dirt, gravel surfaces, etc.);
however, this must not be inferred; must be explicitly
stated in police report as a “factor.”
Excludes shoulder-related situations, pavement marking
situations, situations with inadequate warnings, and
surfaces under water

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
14
Motor Vehicles in Transport
Struck by Falling Cargo, or
Something That Came Loose From,
Or Something That was Set-in-Motion
by a Vehicle.
“Something set-in-motion” includes persons and
vehicles.
Something set in-motion denotes that a vehicle “has
control of” or “is attached/connected” to the object.
An example of “control of” is a vehicle
determining the direction of a driverless vehicle. An
example of “attached to” is a vehicle overriding
another vehicle.
“Set-in-Motion” generally applies to non-fixed objects,
and extends to vehicles parked and “in transport.”
15
Non-occupant Struck by Falling Cargo
or Something That Came Loose From,
or Something that was Set-in-Motion
by a Vehicle.
Non-occupant denotes pedestrians, pedal cyclists,
occupants of motor vehicles not in transport, and
vehicles other than motor vehicles (skate-board riders,
roller skaters, non-motorized wheelchairs, baby
carriages, scooters).

Remarks:
Must be coded for EACH VEHICLE involved in the accident. Should be coded with the
total number of occupants in this motor vehicle.
In those states where data are collected ONLY on INJURED persons and drivers, BUT
the actual number of motor vehicle occupants is known, code this element with the
number of motor vehicle occupants and complete Person Level forms for ALL
INVOLVED individuals.
Bus and railroad accidents are an exception. For bus accidents, code only the number of
occupants and fill out Person Level forms on INJURED persons and drivers.
NOTE: This also applies to van-based buses.
Code “97” should be used ONLY when the TOTAL number of occupants is unknown
and the State ONLY reports information on drivers and INJURED passengers.
* Values greater than 30 are unlikely and will raise a “U” flag.

Remarks:
This element is used to determine the type of registered owner of the vehicle.
The type of ownership, “loan vs. lease,” does not change the coding. An individual or
company should be the Registered Vehicle Owner, regardless of the bank holding the
loan or lease. Banks and leasing companies should be the Registered Vehicle Owner for
their own fleets only.
Code “0” applies to vehicles that are not registered, both exempt from registration and
illegally not registered. (See code “5” for stolen vehicles.)
Code “2” is used for private owners other than the driver. Also, if the driver is a spouse
of the owner but is not a co-owner.
Code “4” applies for rental vehicles, such as: Hertz, Ryder trucks, etc.
Code “5 -Vehicle Was Stolen” takes precedence over codes “0, 2, 3, 4, 6,” when
multiple conditions exist.
Code “6 - Driverless Vehicle” does not take precedence over codes “0, 3, 4, 5,” when
multiple conditions exist.

Remarks:
Code 09 is used when specific styles are not known (convertible, hatchback, station
wagon, coupe); however, the PAR in combination with the registration data may give
sufficient data to use Codes “02” and “04.”
Example #1: You know that it is a 2-door and you know it is NOT a
convertible, (and your choices are Codes “01,” “02,” and “09”) then you use
Code “02.”
Example #2: You know that it is a 4-door and the PAR eliminates the
possibility of a hatchback or station wagon, then use Code “04.”)

Remarks:
The standard VIN (1981 and later) is 17-characters long. Older VINs may be shorter.
Code the complete VIN. VIN is always left-justified.
If the VIN is less than 17-characters long (pre-1981 VIN), leave the remaining
characters blank. Do not zero-fill. If the state will not allow transmittal of a complete
standard VIN, code the right-most four characters as numeric zeroes.
Code as not applicable (zeroes) the VIN of vehicles that do not require registration
(farm tractors, go-carts, etc.).

Remarks (V7 through V11):
VEHICLE MAKE, VEHICLE MODEL, VEHICLE BODY TYPE, MODEL YEAR as
shown on accident reports must be verified with registration data. In the case of
inconsistencies, registration data takes precedence over accident report data. Note that
vehicle information should be gathered only from state records. Do not use any other
sources to determine any of these elements, that is; you should not use sources such as
the NATB Passenger Vehicle Identification Manual.
VEHICLE MAKE codes are organized into general groups. These groups are:
01-28
29
30-64
69
70-76
80-89
90-94

Other Make (where MAKE “29” or “69,” are not applicable)
Unknown Make
VEHICLE MODEL refers to the series of vehicles for a make, e.g., Pintos, Galaxies,
Mustangs are Models of Ford. It does not refer to the various styles within a model
unless they are listed in the codes for VEHICLE MODEL.
The MODEL codes are organized into general groups. These groups are:
001-399
400-499
850
980-996
897,899
988
Passenger Car (automobile)
Light Trucks (including truck based utility vehicles, light duty pickup
trucks, standard pickup trucks, vans, mini vans, van-based station
wagons, van-based busses, van derivatives, and truck-based station
wagons).
Motored Cycles (including motorcycles, mini-bikes, motor scooters, dirt
bikes, and mopeds).
Trucks (including all trucks over 10,000 lbs. GVWR except those pickup type trucks mentioned under BODY TYPE code ‘30-31’ (Pickup)).
Motor Home (truck based)
All busses except those that are van-based.

Note that for both MAKE and MODEL the use of the terms “other” and “unknown”
have very specific meanings. “Other” refers to a MAKE or MODEL that is known but is
not explicitly listed. “Unknown” refers to the situation where no specific named MAKE
or MODEL is known. Selection of the proper “other” or “unknown” code can only be
made with consideration of the vehicle BODY TYPE in accordance with the following
table (Table A) of applicable BODY TYPEs for given combinations of “other” and/or
“unknown” MAKE and MODEL.
4WD, FWD, or Four-Wheel Drive does not automatically imply on/off road vehicle
(Utility Vehicles), body types “14” and “15.”
Reconstructed Vehicles: In cases where someone builds a “home made” vehicle from
drastically mixed parts, there may be no clear MAKE or MODEL. In addition, the state
may issue an Identification Number in place of the Standard VIN. In such cases, code
the VIN as all “0’s”; code MAKE, MODEL, and MODEL YEAR as “9s.” Code BODY
TYPE as appropriate. Be sure to use RELATED FACTORS-VEHICLE LEVEL code
“35.”
In reconstructed vehicles where the modifications are less drastic and you can determine
the MAKE, MODEL and VIN, code these elements appropriately and be sure to use
RELATED FACTORS-VEHICLE LEVEL code “35.”

Remarks:
This element describes if a vehicle is being used for common forms of bus service (i.e.,
public school bus, scheduled service bus, tour bus, etc.) The vehicle body type does
not have to be a bus to be coded 1-7,9 for this element.
Code “0-Not Used as a Bus” is used for vehicles that do not have a bus body type AND
are not being used as a bus in the accident. It is also used for vehicles with bus body
types that are not in service at the time of the accident. For example, a school bus or
intercity bus without occupants en route to a bus service facility that is involved in a
fatal event.
Code “1-3” (used as a school bus) are for vehicles used to transport groups of school
children (up to the 12th grade) to/from school or any other school function or activity.
These can include school-sponsored chartered tours and trips to school athletic events in
school or chartered buses. This can involve school-sponsored Head Start Programs
(also see Related Factors-Vehicle Level code “37-Head Start/Day Care”).
Code “4-Used as a Scheduled Service Bus” is used for regular municipal transit service
and cross-country or intercity scheduled service. For example, scheduled Greyhound
bus service between major cities. It also includes scheduled inner-city mass transit bus
service.

V12
Code “5-Used as a Tour Bus” should be coded for any tour for sightseeing, pleasure
trips, etc. These tours are typically in large chartered buses, but can be in van-based
buses as well. This does not include school-sponsored functions or activities (see codes
“1-3”).
Code “6-Used as a Commuter Bus” should be coded for:
· Commuting between home and work or school (beyond 12th grade; e.g., college
commute).
· Direct point-to-point service (e.g., parking lot or pick-up location near home to
drop-off location near work.
These commuter buses can be large chartered buses and van-based buses.
Code “7-Used as a Shuttle Bus” should be coded when it is indicated that the vehicle is
being used to shuttle people other than for commuting (code “6”), school (codes “1-3”),
tours (code “5”), or scheduled interstate/intercity/intracity travel (code “4”). Examples
are shuttles from airport, hotels, churches, community-sponsored Head Start/day care,
rental cars, to/from parking lots at sporting events, business facility-to-facility, etc. (For
community-sponsored Head Start/day care, also see Related Factors-Vehicle Level,
code “37-Transporting Children to/from Head Start/Day Care.”)
Code “8-Modified for Personal/Private Use” should be coded when a bus body type has
been modified for personal or private use. For example, a bus with seats removed and
exterior altered to allow for personal/private hauling of cargo (instead of passengers).
Also includes musical groups in cross-country bus with interior remodeled with homelike conveniences.

Remarks:
Refers to whether the motor vehicle was used for a function other than the primary
function for that type vehicle. In other words, this element is coded “1-9” in those cases
where BODY TYPE does not reflect how the vehicle was being used. For example, if a
vehicle is coded BODY TYPE “50-School Bus” or “24-Van-Based School Bus,”
SPECIAL USE is coded “0” since BODY TYPE already indicates the vehicle’s use, and
it would be redundant to code this element “2.” On the other hand, if a Minivan (“20”)
or Large Van (“21”) is being used as a school bus, this element would be coded “2”
because the coding of BODY TYPE does not indicate the fact that the van is actually
being used as a school bus.
Code “0-No Special Use.”
Code “1-Taxi” refers to vehicles used during this trip (at the time of the accident) on a
fee-for-hire basis to transport persons. Most of these vehicles will be marked and
formally registered as taxis; however, vehicles that are used as taxis, even though they
are not registered (e.g., Gypsy Cabs), are included here. Taxis and drivers who are offduty at the time of the accident are coded “0.”
This code also applies for limousines on a fee-for-hire basis.

Code “2-Vehicle used as school bus”* refers to a motor vehicle which satisfies the
following criteria:
·
·
·
·
·
externally identifiable to other traffic units as a school/pupil transport vehicle;
operated or owned by a public or private school-type institution;
where the institution’s students may range from pre-school through high school;
whose occupants, if any, are associated with the institution; and,
the vehicle is in operation at the time of the accident to and from the school or
on a school-sponsored activity or trip.
In addition, vehicles which are not externally identifiable as a school/pupil
transport vehicle, but do meet all of the other criteria above are vehicles used as
school buses. (E.g., a transit bus, at the time of the accident, used exclusively (no
other passengers except students) to transport students to/from the school or
school-related activity.
Code “3-Vehicle used as other bus”* refers to a motor vehicle which is designed for
transporting more than ten persons and does not satisfy the above criteria of a school
bus.
For codes “4-Military,” “5-Police,” and “6-Ambulance,” Special Use means “in use”
and not necessarily “emergency use.” External identification to the normal driving
public is the criterion.
Code “4-Military”* refers to a vehicle which is owned by any of the Armed Forces.
These vehicles are presumed to be in special military use at all times.
Code “5-Police”* refers to a readily identifiable (lights or markings) vehicle which is
owned by any local, county, state or federal police agency. The vehicles are presumed to
be in special police use at all times. Personal vehicles (not owned by the agency) that
are used by officers or agents (e.g., undercover) are excluded.
Military police vehicles are coded “4-Military.”
Code “6-Ambulance”* refers to those readily identifiable (lights or markings) vehicles:
(1) whose sole purpose is to provide ambulance service and which is always presumed
to be in special ambulance use at all times, or (2) vehicles serving dual purposes such as
a hearse used for both funeral and emergency purposes, which is only coded when used
for the latter purpose.
Military ambulances are coded “4-Military.”

5 Steering and Braking (evidence or stated)
6 Other Avoidance Maneuver
8 Not Reported/Inconclusive (by police)
Remarks:
This element is collected to indicate if an avoidance maneuver was taken by the driver
to avoid the crash. The “Crash Avoidance Maneuver” is separate and distinct from the
“Vehicle Maneuver” (prior to the unstabilized event). Only count maneuvers to avoid
the crash up to the first injury or damage-producing event for this vehicle. Witness
statements may be used to identify crash avoidance maneuvers or the lack of
maneuvers. Vehicle occupants and pedestrians may provide information when police
sources are unavailable.
Code “0” (No Avoidance Maneuver Reported) is used if the police indicate that the
driver took no avoidance maneuver. The officer may describe through the narrative and
diagram such a scenario without actually using the words “no avoidance maneuver.” If
the PAR (narrative and diagram) indicates the driver could not take a crash avoidance
maneuver, use Code “0.” Examples of these could be: “asleep at the wheel,” “vision
totally obscured,” “driverless,” “not in position to observe impact,” etc.
Codes “1, 2, 3” are used if the driver was braking to avoid the crash, with a Code “1”
used if skid marks are evident from braking and a “2” based on a driver’s statement. Be
careful not to confuse “yaw marks” with braking skid marks. To use Code “1-Braking
(skid marks evident),” the marks should be consistent with a braking action. Code “3” is
used when there is evidence of braking other than skid marks or a driver’s statement
(e.g., other police determination or witness statement).
Braking and/or steering take precedence over other avoidance maneuvers when multiple
maneuvers are present.

If the officer uses words such as “overcorrecting,” “bringing the vehicle back on the
road,” “veered,” etc., a steering code (“4 or 5”) should be used.
Code “6” (Other Avoidance Maneuver) is used for backing, accelerating or
downshifting gears without braking.
Code “8” (Not Reported/Inconclusive - by Police) is used when the police are silent
on the issue or the information reported is not conclusive.
When you know you have a Crash Avoidance Maneuver, but the officer records a travel
speed of “00” because the vehicles came to rest prior to impact, code the appropriate
Crash Avoidance Maneuver (not “0”). Also, obtain the actual travel speed prior to the
unstabilized situation or code “99” if unknown.

Rollover refers to vehicles overturning during the accident.
Rollover is defined as any vehicle rotation of 90 degrees or more, about any true
longitudinal or lateral axis. Rollover can occur at any time during the unstabilized
situation.
Rollover does not apply to motorcycles (code as “0”). A rollover can be coded for
ATVs (3- or 4-wheel), snowmobiles, and go-karts.

Remarks:
If it cannot be determined that a fire occurred in the vehicle during the accident, code
“0-No Fire.”
If the Most Harmful Event for the vehicle is “02-Fire/Explosion,” or a fire in the vehicle
is produced by damage in the accident, use “1-Fire Occurred.” The involved vehicles
may be at rest for a reasonable period of time.
If the vehicles are at rest long enough to raise a question about the fire’s relationship to
the accident’s damage-producing events, do not use code “1.”
Fires that begin in a vehicle before the first impact may be counted. If damage is
produced, “Fire/Explosion” would be the First Harmful Event.
Coding Examples for Fire Occurrence
Example
1. Car strikes tank truck in rear, explodes into fire.
2. Inside of vehicle catches fire, causing driver to strike another vehicle.
3. Inside of vehicle catches fire, causing driver to stop vehicle in roadway and all
occupants exit vehicle. Two minutes later, a second car rear-ends the stopped car
and its driver is killed from collision.
4. Two vehicles collide; a tank ruptures. Vehicles are stopped momentarily when fire
ignites, causing fire damage to both vehicles.

Remarks:
IMPACT POINT-INITIAL: Code the first impact point that produced property
damage or personal injury (regardless of FIRST or MOST HARMFUL EVENT).
IMPACT POINT-PRINCIPAL: Code the impact point that produced the most
property damage or personal injury.
If principal and initial impact points are the same, code both elements the same.
Codes “01-12” refer to the point on a clock. Refer to the diagram on the following page
for examples of how to superimpose the clock point on several vehicle types.
It is important to note that impact point refers mainly to the area of the vehicle that
sustained the impact and does not depend upon the attitude of the vehicle (e.g., damage
to a grille is still damage at 12 o-clock even if it was caused by sliding sideways past a
utility pole).
However, code “13 - Top” may raise questions . The front and rear windows of some
vehicles may also be viewed from the top. It may also be difficult to code impacts to the
hood and rear deck of a vehicle.
With code “13,” the direction of force sometimes has to be considered. The following
are guidelines for using code “13 - Top.”
1.
If the impact was received horizontally to an upright vehicle, use one of the
codes “01 to 12.”
2.
If the impact was received from a vertical direction above the upright vehicle,
use code “13.”
3.
If the impact received or direction of force was at an angle of less than 1
degrees above the horizontal, it is considered horizontal.
2001
273
Go Back
V20
4.
With a vehicle in other than upright attitudes, remember, it is the area of the
vehicle which was impacted that is important.
1. If FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is coded “01-07” and no impact to the vehicle
occurs throughout the accident, then code IMPACT POINT-INITIAL as “00,” IMPACT
POINT-PRINCIPAL as “00,” and VEHICLE ROLE as “0.”
2. If FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is coded “01-07” (particularly code “01 –
Overturn”) and impacts to the vehicle do occur, then code the appropriate IMPACT
POINT-INITIAL and PRINCIPAL, and code VEHICLE ROLE as appropriate.
If the only event is an overturn, the accident is considered a non-collision; therefore, the
impact points are coded “00.” The only time the actual impact points would be coded
would be if the vehicle incurred damage from impacting against an ‘object’ at any time
during the accident, whether an overturn occurs or not. Hitting the ground is not
regarded as an ‘impact.’
Wheel impacts are coded “14-Undercarriage.”
A vehicle that has set something in motion striking another vehicle, person or
property causing injury or damage may not have a normal impact point; however, an
impact point must be coded. Choose as an impact point the location on the vehicle
where the load or object left the vehicle. In addition, use Related Factor-Vehicle level
code “34.”
NOTE: Beginning in 1994, Codes “15” and “16” (Underride and Override) were
removed from this element. Coding vehicle underrides and overrides is captured in a
separate element (See element V22). Impact points (clockpoint) associated with
Underrides and Overrides may be coded in this element.

Remarks:
Code 0 - Non-Collision is used when the harmful event(s) for this vehicle is/are noncollisions.
If FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is coded “01-07” and no impact to the vehicle occurs
throughout the accident, then code IMPACT POINT-INITIAL as “00;” IMPACT
POINT-PRINCIPAL as “00;” and VEHICLE ROLE as “0.”
If FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is coded “01-07” (particularly code “01-Overturn”)
and impacts to the vehicle do occur, then code the appropriate IMPACT POINTINITIAL and PRINCIPAL, and code VEHICLE ROLE as appropriate.
The officer’s description and diagram usually determines the striking and struck
vehicles.
Direction of force can play a role, especially in head-on collisions. In two-vehicle, headon collisions, both are coded as striking (Code “1”).
A vehicle can strike (or be struck by) a pedestrian, bicyclist, skateboard rider and other
non-motorists.
For a vehicle to be coded “Both” striking and struck (Code “3”), the event cannot be
simultaneous at the same point on the vehicle. A vehicle cannot only have one impact
and be both striking and struck.
* This value is an unlikely occurrence and will raise a “U” flag.

7 Override, Motor Vehicle in Transport
8 Override, Other Vehicle
9 Unknown if Underride or Override
Remarks:
An Underride refers to a vehicle sliding under another vehicle during an accident. The
classic example is an automobile striking the rear end or the side of a tractor-trailer and
coming to a stop under the trailer. In this example, the automobile is the underriding
vehicle. We distinguish between those underriding vehicles with compartment intrusion
versus those with no compartment intrusion. Compartment intrusion means that the
truck’s rear end or side has entered the passenger compartment of the under-riding
vehicle (typically, the windshield or glass area). No compartment intrusion means
typically that the front hood is under the truck, but the truck has not directly entered the
passenger compartment.
It is possible for an auto to completely underride the trailer without stopping. Underride
is not applicable to motorcycles or snowmobiles.
For underrides and overrides, it is important to determine the vehicle performing the
action. Two vehicles cannot be considered to underride and override simultaneously.
2001
283
Go Back
V22
Also, do not code frontal underrides. In cases in which two vehicles collide “head-on”
and one vehicle ends up under the other, two striking vehicles exist. Codes “1-6” cannot
be used. However, consider whether an override has occurred.
UNDERRIDES AND VEHICLES UNDER OTHER VEHICLES
Codes “1-3” are used when a motor vehicle underrides another motor vehicle in
transport. Codes “4-6” are used when a motor vehicle underrides a parked vehicle or a
transport device in use as equipment (i.e., cherry picker, paint-striping truck). To use
Codes “1 or 4,” the PAR should indicate that the passenger compartment of the
underriding (striking) vehicle has been damaged. Sources of this information can be the
PAR narrative and/or the vehicle damage scale. If the top of the vehicle is damaged, as
noted by the vehicle damage scale, Codes “1 or 4” would apply. Codes “2 and 5,”
Underride, No Compartment Intrusion, are used when a portion of the vehicle is under
another, and it is known that there is no passenger compartment intrusion. Codes “3 and
6” are used when it is unknown if there is passenger compartment intrusion.
OVERRIDES
An Override refers to a vehicle riding up over another (including a parked vehicle). A
vehicle straddling a guardrail, for example, is not coded as an override.
Code 7, Override - Motor Vehicle in Transport, is used when a motor vehicle
overrides another motor vehicle in transport. Code “8-Override - Other Vehicle,” is used
when a motor vehicle overrides a parked motor vehicle or a transport device in use as
equipment.

Federal regulations require that almost all trucks operating across state lines (i.e.,
interstate) have Identification Numbers except those hauling “exempt” commodities
(such as unprocessed agricultural products). This will be a US DOT or ICC Number.
State Numbers are issued by a public utility commission, a public service commission,
or some other state agency, to vehicles that operate either in interstate commerce or only
within that state. However, some states do not regulate the motor carrier industry.
Trucks and buses that operate strictly within such states (i.e., intrastate) may not have
numbers.
Many carriers will have either a US DOT or ICC Number plus a State Number.
Identification Number should be left justified. If less than 9 characters, left-justify and
do not zero-fill.
Examples:
Supplement/PAR
003518

0003518

3518000
3518000
STATE NUMBERS: If only a State Number is recorded on the PAR or Supplement,
then code the appropriate FARS State Code in “Issuing Authority” and enter the State
Number in “Identification Number.”
US DOT NUMBERS: Use Code “57” in “Issuing Authority” if a US DOT Number or a
State Number and US DOT Number are recorded on the PAR or Supplement. Enter the
US DOT Number in “Identification Number.”
ICC NUMBERS: Use Code “58” in “Issuing Authority” if an ICC Number or a State
Number and an ICC Number are recorded on the PAR or Supplement. Enter the ICC
Number in “Identification Number.”
CANADIAN/MEXICAN NUMBERS: Use code “95” or “96” in “Issuing Authority”
if a Canadian or Mexican authority (respectively) has issued the only Carrier
Identification Number recorded on the PAR or Supplement.
HIERARCHY: When Identification Numbers are available from more than one Source
(Issuing Authority), it is most important to code the US DOT number then the ICC
number if one is available. It is next most important to code the Mexican or
Canadian issued number. Finally, State-issued numbers should be coded.

Code 0’s: Not Applicable - would apply when you would never expect this style of
vehicle to have a Motor Carrier ID number (cars, motorhomes, etc.). This vehicle would
not appear on a truck supplement (supplemental truck elements on the PAR would be
coded N/A).
Code 8’s : None - should be coded when:
· you could expect this type of vehicle to have an ID Number, but it is exempt
because of its use or activity at the time of the crash;
· this type of vehicle often does have a number (but vehicle is operated strictly
intrastate and activity not regulated); or
· the PAR/supplement states “No Number.”
Note: In some states, school buses are exempt from requiring a Motor Carrier ID
Number
Code 9’s: Unknown - is used when you could expect this type of vehicle to have a
Motor Carrier ID Number, however:
· the PAR or truck supplement leaves the field blank;
· you don’t have a supplement or a field on the PAR (no further information
given); or

Code “05-Truck Tractor” is used for cab-only vehicles (bobtail).
Code “06- Tractor/Semi-Trailer (one trailer)” is used for truck tractors with one
trailer. NOTE: This code was used for truck tractors with any number of trailers
before 2001. This code should not be used for single-unit trucks pulling a trailer.
Use Code 07 for two trailers
Use Code 08 for three trailers
Code “19- Med./Heavy Truck cannot classify” is used when you know the vehicle
meets the definition of a medium/heavy truck, but you can’t select from codes 01-08.
An example is a vehicle with one trailer, but it is unknown whether it is a tractortrailer or a single-unit truck pulling a trailer.
Code “20- Bus (seats for 9-15 people, including driver).” Smaller van-based buses
qualify (less than 15 seats, including driver). E.g., commuter vans, van-based school
buses.
Code “21- Bus (seats for more than 15 people, including driver)” A van-based bus
qualifies for this code if it is configured to include enough seats. A CDL is required
for the driver of this bus.
Code “70- Light Truck (van, mini-van, panel, pickup, sport utility vehicle displaying a
hazardous material placard)” is only used for trucks 10,000 lbs or less, vans and sport
utilities displaying hazardous materials placard. When vehicles in this category are
not displaying a hazardous materials placard, use code “00- Not Applicable.”
Code “80- Passenger Car” is used for passenger cars displaying a hazardous material
placard; otherwise, code “00- Not Applicable.”
Code “99- Unknown if Light or Med./Heavy Truck/Bus” is used when there is not
enough information to determine if the vehicle meets the definition of a medium/heavy
truck or bus but there is reason to suspect that it may qualify. This code differs from
Code “19” in that Code “19” indicates that the vehicle is a medium/heavy truck, only
the configuration is not known.

Remarks:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): is (1) a value specified by the manufacturer
for a single-unit truck, truck tractor or trailer, or (2) the sum of such values for the units
which make up a truck combination. In the absence of a gross vehicle weight rating, an
estimate of the gross weight of a fully loaded unit may be substituted for such a rating.
Code this element based on the Power Unit of the truck only. Do not add GVWR of
trailer(s).
This element should be available with other NGA (National Governor’s Association)
recommended elements for commercial vehicles on your PAR or Truck Supplement.
Code “0 – Not Applicable” should be used for vehicles 10,000 lbs. or less, not
displaying a hazardous materials placard, and for buses less than 16 seats (including
driver).
Code “1 – 10,000 lbs. or less” should be used for passenger cars and light trucks with
10,000 lbs. GVWR or less when displaying a hazardous materials placard or for busses
with 16 or more seats (including driver) with 10,000 lbs. GVWR or less.
The MDE provides PCVINA codes for GVWR. Next to Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN), click on check box, and then click on “Show Details” under the “R.L.Polk”
column. Use the table below to translate the code for GVWR.

Code “09-Pole” a Pole Trailer is used to carry logs or other long objects. The
unloaded trailer resembles an extended pole with no flat surface as with a flatbed
trailer.
Code “97-Other Cargo Body Type” is used when the cargo body type is other than the
body types listed in codes “01-09, 20-21.” A Stake Truck has side rails, but is neither an
enclosed box nor a flatbed. Code “97” would apply for this vehicle.
Code “98-Unknown Cargo Body Type” is used when the cargo body type is not
known or when there is not enough information to distinguish one cargo body type from
another. An example would be contradictory data on whether the truck is a van/enclosed
box or a flatbed.
Code “99” (Unknown if Light or Medium/Heavy Truck/Bus) is used when there is
not enough information to determine if the vehicle meets the definition of a
medium/heavy truck but there is reason to suspect that it may qualify.

Remarks:
Jackknife applies to a condition that occurs to an articulated vehicle, (e.g., truck tractor
and one or more trailers, articulated bus) while in motion. The condition reflects a loss
of control of the vehicle by the driver in which the trailer yaws more than 15 degrees (as
best as can be determined by the analyst) from its normal straight line path behind the
power unit. If the final resting configuration of the vehicle is in the jackknife position, it
does not necessarily mean that the vehicle has jackknifed (such as, an accident
occurring while the vehicle is backing up or parking).
Subsequent Event refers to a jackknife which occurs after the first harmful event
Jackknife is not likely to be a ‘harmful’ event but may be part of an unstabilized
condition just before the first harmful event.

Code as follows:
(A) FATALITIES take precedence over INJURIES.
1.
If this vehicle is involved in more than one event which causes fatality to its own
occupants or to non-motorists, choose the event which causes the greatest number
of fatalities to occupants of this vehicle or to non-motorists (not occupants of
other vehicles).
2.
If this vehicle is involved in more than one event that causes fatality to its own
occupants or to non-motorists; and if there are an equal number of fatalities in
each such event, choose the fatal event that is worst with respect to other injuries
and property damage.
3.
At last resort, choose the fatal event that occurred first, time-wise.
(B) INJURIES take precedence over PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1.
If the vehicle is not involved in events that cause fatality to its occupants or to
non-motorist, choose the event that produces the worst injury.
2.
If in doubt, choose the event with the greatest number of injuries.
3.
If in doubt, choose the event that occurred first, time-wise.
(C) If only PROPERTY DAMAGE results for this vehicle:
1.
Choose the event causing the most damage.
2.
If in doubt, choose the event that happened first, time-wise.
Code 01 (Overturn) is used when a vehicle rotates 90o or more, side-to-side or end-toend, producing the most damage or the most serious injury(ies). For motorcycles, laying
the motorcycle down on its side is sufficient to code Overturn if the most damage or the
most serious injury(ies) is produced.
Code 05 (Fell from Vehicle) is used when falling or jumping (not suicide) from the
vehicle is the major event causing damage or injury. For example, a passenger of a motor
vehicle in transport leans against the car door, it opens and the passenger falls out and is
injured by the fall.
Code 06 (Injured in Vehicle). Use where an occupant is injured during an
unstabilized situation without a collision. Examples: a pick-up truck stops short and
its load crashes through passenger compartment injuring or killing driver; or a part of
the engine comes loose and bounces back into its own vehicle.
Code 07 (Other Non-Collision). As an example, driving off a cliff where damage is
not the result of an overturn or collision with an object (see Related Factor-Vehicle
Level code “38 – Airborne”).
Code 11 (Animal) is used for collisions with animals (domesticated or wild) that are not
themselves being used as transportation or to draw a wagon, cart or other transport
device (see ANSI D16.1). See code “49” for ridden animals and animals drawing
transport devices.

V33
Code 12 (Motor Vehicle in Transport). Also use this code for cases in which a vehicle
strikes a vehicle working as equipment (not a motor vehicle in transport) and sets a
portion or former occupants of the working vehicle into another motor vehicle in
transport.
Code 13 (Motor Vehicle in Transport in Other Roadway) differs from Code “12Motor Vehicle in Transport” in that it applies to events in which this vehicle leaves one
roadway and enters a different roadway, having a collision with a motor vehicle in
transport in a different roadway. For example, one vehicle travels across the median of a
divided highway, enters oncoming traffic and is struck. Another example: when a vehicle
traveling on an overpass leaves that trafficway and strikes or is struck by a vehicle
traveling on a trafficway below.
Code “13” should not be used in an at intersection accident (where the First
Harmful Event occurs in the intersection).
Code 14 (Parked Motor Vehicle) refers to the collision of a motor vehicle in transport
with a motor vehicle not in transport. Parked motor vehicle includes those vehicles
parked outside the roadway and those vehicles parked in the roadway in lanes not
designated for travel at the time of accident. (Do not include Vehicle-Driver Level
information for the parked car. Do include Person Level information if there were
occupants in the car).
Code 15 (Other Non-Motorist) wheelchair occupant, as an example.
Code 16 (Thrown or Falling Object) is a non-collision event and, unless there is
another collision during the accident, IMPACT POINTS (V20) for the vehicle involved
must be coded “00.” Examples: Falling tree/rock, dropping/throwing something off
bridge, throwing a snowball. However, it does not have to come from above. Excludes
Cataclysms.
Code 17 (Boulder) is a rock of sufficient mass that when struck by a motor vehicle
moves very little and remains basically intact. It may be considered as a fixed object.
Code 18 (Other Object, Not Fixed) e.g., fallen tree already laying in roadway,
construction cones or barrels on road (temporary).
See Code “45” for transport devices used as equipment (i.e., cherry picker at work,
paint striper at work, etc.).
Code 20 * (Impact Attenuator) is a device for controlling the absorption of energy
released during vehicle collision (“Crash Cushion”). Its most common application
involves the protection of fixed roadside objects such as bridge piers, elevated gores at
exit ramps, etc. Examples include barrels filled with water or sand, and plastic
collapsible structures.

Code 21, (Bridge Pier or Abutment) refer to support structures. They are most likely to
be struck by vehicles passing under bridges.
1. Bridge Pier - a square or round column of stone, concrete, brick, steel or wood
for supporting a bridge between abutments.
2. Bridge Abutment - wall supporting the ends of a bridge generally retaining or
supporting the embankment under bridge ends and composed of stone, concrete,
brick or wood.
Code 22 (Bridge Parapet End) and Code 23 (Bridge Rail) are components of the upper
portion of bridges.
Code 22 (Bridge Parapet End) the end of a low wall which runs along the outer most
edge of the roadway or sidewalk on the bridge and usually composed of brick, stone or
concrete. Balustrade is often used synonymously with parapet.
Code 23 (Bridge Rail) a wooden, brick, stone, concrete or metal fence-like wall which
runs along the outermost edge of the roadway or sidewalk on the bridge or a rail
constructed along the top of a parapet.
a. Bridges do not need to support another roadway. It may be an overpass for a
train or even for a viaduct (water conduit).
b. See the figure on bridge components in A86-First Harmful Events for a
diagram of the three bridge codes “21, 22 and 23.”
Barriers as in codes “24, 25 and 26” refer to a physical structure such as a guardrail, a
concrete safety barrier or a rock wall which has the primary function of preventing crossmedian travel by deflecting and redirecting vehicles along the roadway on which they
were traveling. Therefore; trees, curbing, rumble strips and drain depressions are not
barriers.
Code 24 (Guardrail) is a low barrier running along the edge of a road shoulder either on
the right or the left and which has the primary longitudinal structure composed of metal
(plates, cable, mesh, box beam, etc.).
A guardrail is differentiated from Code “25-Concrete Traffic Barrier” by the material
making up the greatest part of the longitudinal portion of the structure. In the case of
guardrails, this is metal whereas in concrete barriers this is concrete (including concrete
rails).
Code 25 (Concrete Traffic Barrier). Refers to the longitudinal traffic barriers
constructed of concrete and located on the outside of the road surface, in a median, or in
gore areas. This includes all temporary concrete barriers regardless of location (i.e.,
temporary Jersey Barrier on a bridge being used to control traffic during bridge
repair/construction). Concrete walls (vertical side surfaces) do not apply here; see code
“39-Wall.”
2001
329
Go Back
V33
Code 26 (Other Longitudinal Barriers) is used for all other barriers such as wood or
rock and unknown barrier composition type.
Code 27 (Highway/Traffic Sign Post/Sign) used when the post supporting a traffic
sign, or the sign itself, is hit by a motor vehicle in transport. Includes mile markers.
See Code “46-Traffic Signal Supports/Signal.”
Code 28 (Overhead Sign Support/Sign) is used when the sign supported is above the
highway. The difference between codes “27 and 28” is the location of the sign (overhead
or the side of the road).
Code 29 ( Luminarie/Light Support) refers to supports for highway lighting systems,
not including other private lighting systems (e.g., parking lot lights). Support does not
include other fixed objects to which lighting is affixed (e.g., telephone poles).
Code 30 (Utility Pole) Electrical, Telephone, Cable, & other utility pole-type supports.
Code 31 (Other Post, Other Pole, or Other Supports) is used for posts other than
highway signs. (E.g., reflectors on poles along side of roadway, mailbox posts, parking
meters, flag poles, etc.)
Code 32 (Culvert) is any structure entirely under the roadway, driveway or entranceway
and less than 20 feet in span measured along the centerline of the roadway.
Code 33 (Curb) a concrete or asphalt structure up to 12 inches in height that borders the
roadway. It provides drainage control and pavement edge delineation. The face of the
curb may be sloped or vertical. Be careful that the PAR provides some indication that
damage has occurred when a vehicle strikes a curb.
Codes 35-37 (Embankments) is a raised structure to hold back water, to carry a
roadway or the result of excavation or washout (including erosion) which may be faced
with earth (Code “35”) or rock, stone or concrete (Code “36”). An embankment can
usually be differentiated from a wall by its incline whereas a wall is usually vertical.
However, there are exceptions to this; such as a retaining wall that may be inclined or a
vertical embankment that is caused by a natural event such as a washout.
In accidents involving a field approach or crossing, if in doubt about when to use codes
“32-34” (Culvert/Ditch) or codes “35-37” (Embankment), use the following criteria:
a. Use code “32, 34” if the driver would not have been able to recover from the
ditch even if there had been no field approach (crossing).
b. Use code “35, 36, 37” if the driver would have been able to recover from the
ditch, but struck the field approach (crossing) prior to doing so.
c. Use code “35, 36, 37” if it is not known whether or not the driver could have
recovered from the ditch and a field approach (crossing) is involved
330
Code 39 (Wall) is a primarily vertical (+ 15 from vertical) structure composed of
concrete, metal, timber, or stone which is not part of a building or a fence but typically is
used for retaining earth, abating noise, and separating areas (but not for containment as in
2001
Go Back
V33
used for retaining earth, abating noise, and separating areas (but not for containment as in
the primary function of a fence). Also included as a wall are headwalls (or endwalls) that
are sometimes provided on culvert ends principally to protect the sides of the
embankment around the culvert opening against erosion. This does not include wingwalls, which are attached to ends of bridge abutments and extend back at an angle from
the roadway. Wingwalls should be coded as code “21.”
Code 43 (Other Fixed Object) This is used when the object is fixed (considered a
permanent structure) and is not described by any of the other fixed object codes.
Includes striking the bottom of a bridge while traveling on a trafficway underneath it.
Includes utility wires and “guy” wires attached to utility poles.
Code 45 (Transport Device used as Equipment) includes cherry picker at work, paint
stripper stripping road, tractor mowing grass on trafficway, snow plow plowing snow,
etc.
Code 47 (Vehicle Occupant Struck or Run Over by Own Vehicle) Use when
occupant falls or comes out of vehicle and is struck or run over by that vehicle. Does not
apply to occupants ejected during overturns.
Code 48 (Snow Bank) Use when snow fall and/or road plowing creates essentially fixed
barriers of snow/ice which are not snow-covered earth or rock embankments.
Code 49 (Ridden Animal or Animal-Drawn Conveyance) is used for collisions with
animals being used as transportation. This includes ridden animals and animals (or teams
of animals) drawing a transport device (e.g., a horse drawing a sleigh, a team of horses
drawing a stage coach, etc.)
Code 99 (Unknown) This is used when it is not known what the Most Harmful Event is.
For example, if a series of harmful events occurred and it is unclear which was first or
most severe.

If you have both a residence address and a different mailing address (i.e., a P.O.
Box) use the zip code for the residence address.
If the PAR indicates an address in-state and a driver’s license from another state
is recorded (with a different residence address), attempt to determine the most
current address for the driver. If the most current address cannot be determined,
use the zip code that corresponds to the address from the driver’s license state.

Remarks:
Prior to 1993, this element was Driver License Status and included code “5-ValidSingle Class” and “6 Valid-Multiple Class.”
This element is used to establish the driver’s license status for all license classes except
the commercial driver’s license (CDL). It also captures the status of the non-CDL
driving privilege for drivers with CDLs.
The NON-CDL License Status is coded for all drivers, including drivers with a CDL.

When involved drivers are in the military, the analyst should be cautious because some
States automatically (without driver application) renew drivers’ licenses or extend the
license until the individual is discharged. Each state analyst should be familiar with their
state’s policy on military personnel and code these license variables accordingly.
In addition, when out-of-state driver requests are made the analyst requesting the data
should note that the driver is in the military.
Code “0” (Not licensed) should be used only when it has been reasonably established
that the driver is not registered (anywhere). Takes precedence over all other NON-CDL
License Status Codes. Drivers who have a license but fail to have their license with
them at the time of the accident should be coded according to the type (class) of license
they possess and the validity of the license. If the police report indicates that the driver
has “no license,” the analyst should first determine whether this means that the person
was not in possession of his/her license at the time of the accident, or that the driver is
not a registered motor vehicle operator. A review of the violations cited section of the
police report may yield some clues in this matter. If the person is cited for not
possessing his/her license or for not having one, then code this information in variables
D21 and D22, Violations Charged and Related Factors-Driver Level. If the analyst is
uncertain as to whether or not the person possesses a license, then code “9-Unknown”
should be used.
Code “1” (Suspended), “2” (Revoked), or “3” (Expired) are used if the driver’s
license* is suspended, revoked, or expired.
If the license is revoked or suspended but limited driving is permitted (e.g., to and from
work), use the following criteria:
a. If the accident occurs during permitted times of driving, code NON-CDL LICENSE
STATUS as “Licensed”(Code “6”), code COMPLIANCE WITH LICENSE
RESTRICTIONS as ‘Restrictions Complied With’ (Code “1”), and code RELATED
FACTORS-DRIVER LEVEL as “19.”
b. If the accident occurs during invalid times for driving, code NON-CDL LICENSE
STATUS as suspended or revoked (code “1” or “2”), code COMPLIANCE WITH
LICENSE RESTRICTIONS as “2-Restriction Not Complied With,” and do not use
RELATED FACTORS-DRIVER LEVEL code “19.”
Code “1” (Suspended) takes precedence over all other License Status codes, except
“Not Licensed.”
Code “4” (Canceled or denied) is used whenever the driver’s official driver record
indicates the driver’s license* (1) was canceled; or (2) the driver’s request for license, or
an extension of one, was denied.

Code “6” (Valid) refers to any license held by the driver that is valid for a class of
vehicle*. If the driver is in violation of some aspect of his/her license (e.g., one of the
restrictions) do not consider the license as being not valid. Record the restriction on
element D9 (Compliance with License Restrictions) if applicable. If the police cite the
driver for the violation, then the information would be recorded under elements D21 and
D22 (Violations Charged and/or Related Factors-Driver Level).
Code “7” (Learner’s Permit) includes any type of preliminary license the driver
obtained. It is defined as the state-sanctioned authority to operate a motor vehicle for a
specified period with the requirement that a person who holds a valid driver’s license
for the vehicle type being operated accompany the operator. There may be additional
requirements (e.g., driving limited to certain time periods), which are also considered
within the definition of a learner’s permit.
Code “8” (Temporary) includes any type of non-permanent license issued for a period
of time less than that for a permanent license (e.g., temporary license to drive within a
resort area; temporary license issued to foreign nationals). Short-term permanent
licenses are not temporary (e.g., license issued to elderly drivers requiring frequent retesting). Interim licenses held by new drivers awaiting permanent driver license
identification from the state are not temporary.
Code “9” (Unknown) should be used when the status of the license is unknown. Code
“9” is also used when it is unknown whether the driver had a license or not (e.g., hitand-run).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
In distinguishing license requirements from restrictions focus upon whether or not all
drivers possessing the type of license are mandated to obey the requirement. If they are,
then the requirement is not a restriction, but rather part of the definition of the license.
Restrictions, on the other hand, are requirements specific to individual drivers.

Remarks:
This element indicates the status for a driver’s Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
As of April 1, 1992, all states will require a driver to have a CDL for driving a
commercial motor vehicle in excess of 26,000 pounds ; or for transporting hazardous
materials in sufficient amounts to be placarded; or for transporting 16 or more
passengers, including the driver.
See the table on next page for guidance on coding this element and related driver status
elements.
Code “5” (Disqualified) is used for commercial drivers who have their CDL privilege
taken away for violations against the federal regulations. Although similar to
suspension, the reasons for “disqualification” of a CDL may differ from state
suspension reasons.
Code “8” (Other-Not Valid) should be used when a CDL is surrendered or not valid
due to the lack of medical clearance.

Remarks:
This element indicates whether the vehicle driven at the time of the accident requires
endorsement(s) on a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and whether this driver is
complying with the CDL endorsements. These endorsements include: double/triple
bottoms, passenger vehicles with 16 passengers, tank, hazardous materials, combined
tank/hazardous materials, and others. This element is to be coded independently from
CDL Status. The driver is not automatically failing to comply with a CDL endorsement
by not having a valid CDL.
Code “0” - No Endorsements Required. This vehicle requires no special endorsement
on a CDL or requires no CDL to operate.
Code “1” - The Vehicle Requires a CDL and requires a particular endorsement or set
of endorsements, and the driver has a CDL and is in compliance with the specific
endorsements. (Note: The status of the CDL is not used in determining if the driver has
complied with the endorsement.)
Code “2” - The Vehicle Requires a CDL and particular endorsement(s) on the
CDL, but the driver does not have a CDL or does not have the particular
endorsement(s) required for the vehicle driven. The driver may have some other
endorsement(s). (Note: The status of the CDL is not used in determining if the driver
has complied with the endorsement.)
Code “3” - Endorsement(s) Compliance Unknown. The vehicle requires a CDL and
particular endorsement(s) on the CDL, but it is not known whether the driver was in
compliance with the particular endorsement(s) or it is not known whether the driver had
a CDL.
Code “9” - Unknown, If Required. It is unknown whether a driver is required to have
an endorsement on a CDL to operate the accident vehicle. The driver may or may not

Remarks:
This element refers to the type of license possessed or not possessed by the driver for
the class of vehicle being driven at the time of the accident. This element is coded
according to the driver’s Non-CDL License Status when driving a vehicle not requiring
a CDL and to the driver’s Commercial Motor Vehicle License Status when driving a
vehicle requiring a CDL.
Also see Remarks for D7 on military personnel.
Code “0” (Not licensed) should be used only when it has been reasonably established
that the driver is not registered (anywhere) and where D7 equals “0.” Drivers who have
a license but fail to have their license with them at the time of the accident should be
coded according to the type of license they possess and the class of vehicle they were
driving. Code “0” should not be used in this instance. If the police report indicates that
the driver has “no license,” the analyst must first determine whether this means the
person was not in possession of his/her license at the time of the accident or that the
driver is not a registered motor vehicle operator. A review of the violations cited section
of the police report might yield some clues in this matter. If the person is cited for not
possessing his/her license or for not having one, then code this information in variables
D21 and D22 (Violations Charged and Related Factors-Driver Level). If the analyst is
uncertain as to whether or not the person possesses a license, then code “9-Unknown”
should be used.

Go Back
D10
Code “1” (No license required for this vehicle) means that a license was not required
for the vehicle being driven (e.g., mopeds in some states).
Code “2” (No valid license for this class vehicle) may be used for suspended, revoked,
canceled or expired driving privileges. It also refers to drivers with a valid license but
not for the class of vehicle driven at the time of the accident. As an example, the driver
has an “operator’s license” when a “public passenger” type license is required. For this
driver, “2” should be coded. Another common situation occurs when a separate license
is required for a motorcycle. If the driver possesses a valid license for a passenger car
but not for the motorcycle, then code “2” should be used if the driver was involved in
this accident while driving a motorcycle.
A license (or a portion of the license applicable to the class vehicle driven) that is not in
effect because of some action taken by the State, such as suspended, revoked, etc., is not
to be coded as valid. Similarly, learner’s permits that are not used under the proper
conditions (for example, a required licensed driver for the class of vehicle driven is not
present to accompany the driver involved) are not to be coded as valid either.
Code “2” should be used for suspended, revoked, disqualified, canceled or expired CDL
licenses when the vehicle requires a CDL (see table for Commercial Motor Vehicle
License Status).
Code “3” (Valid license for this class vehicle) refers to the class of vehicle being
driven. As an example, the driver has a ”motorcycle" driver’s license only and was
driving a motorcycle at the time of the accident; code “3” should be used. On the other
hand, a driver might possess a multiple-class license allowing him or her to drive a
passenger car as well as a motorcycle. If the vehicle being driven at the time of the
accident is a passenger car, also code this element “3.” If the vehicle driver requires a
CDL and the CDL status is valid, use code “3.”
Code “8” (Unknown if CDL and/or CDL endorsement required for the vehicle)
should be used if it cannot be determined if the vehicle driven requires a CDL or CDL
endorsement. There should be sufficient cause to suspect the need for a CDL or CDL
endorsement to use this code, such as the vehicle’s size (26,000 lbs.), configuration
(tractor/trailer, combinations, tankers, etc.), or possibly hauling hazardous cargo.
Code “9” (Unknown) should be used when the driver has a license but the type or
validity are uncertain or if it is unknown whether the driver had a license or not (e.g.,
hit-and-run).

Remarks:
Use the driver licensing files to code this element. The Coroner’s Report may be used

Code the driver’s height in feet and inches, if available. Inches less than 10 must be
right-justified with a leading “0” (e.g., nine inches is coded “09”). If Height is only
available in total inches, then code INCHES and code FEET as “0.”
The tallest Height that can be recorded in total INCHES is 96 inches (8 ft). The tallest
Height that can be recorded in FEET and INCHES is 8 ft. - 11 inches. If the driver is
taller than 96 inches, then you must code Height as feet and inches. If the driver is taller
than 8 ft. - 11 inches, then you must code the DRIVER HEIGHT as “Other” (0 FEET,
98 INCHES).
DRIVER HEIGHT greater than “7 Feet - 0 Inches” or greater than “0 Feet - 84 Inches”
will raise an error flag.

If a driver has been DISQUALIFIED for a CDL, record this event in PREVIOUS
RECORDED SUSPENSIONS AND REVOCATIONS.
DO NOT include the current accident in any of the counters.
When you are responding to another state’s request for driver data, do the following:
1. In the counters, record both in-state and out-of-state convictions, accidents,
suspensions and revocations that appear on your state’s record.
2. List the out-of-state activity that is included in the counters in the area provided on
the OUT OF STATE DRIVER DATA RESPONSE (see example on following
page). The Out-of-State Driver Data Response is provided through the message
system.
Remember there is a difference between a violation and a conviction. The violation is
not counted in Previous DWI, Previous Speeding and Previous Other Harmful Moving
Violation Convictions. These elements refer ONLY TO CONVICTIONS. Both
convictions and violations appear on driver records in many states. Be careful that you
code the conviction dates and NOT the violation dates.
DWI refers to both alcohol and drug convictions.

Remarks:
This refers to those violations to the Vehicle Code charged as noted on the police
accident report. Code up to three violations.
Coding Hierarchy
When more than three violations are cited, the three most serious violations should be
coded; choosing the lowest number first. The hierarchy is as follows:
01-09 (Serious violations), “11-19,” (Impairment offense), “21-Racing,” “55-Pass
Stopped School Bus,” and “71-Driving While License Withdrawn.” Beyond this
hierarchy, choose violations which are not reflected in other elements, such as Related
Factors.
If you are unable to distinguish between the violations within a specific category, use
the General code (i.e., “09, 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89”) for that category.

Remarks:
Code information provided in the narrative by the investigating officer. It is the
officer’s assessment.
This is a nominal list only and does NOT imply a hierarchy.
In a case involving Police Pursuit, Code “37” should be used when pursuit has been
initiated by police and is active at the time of the accident (also see Related Factors,
Accident Level, for use of Code “20- Police Pursuit Involved”). It can be used for either
the pursued driver or the pursuing police officer.
Definition of Police Pursuit: A pursuit is an event that is initiated when a law
enforcement officer, operating an authorized emergency vehicle, gives notice to stop
(either through the use of visual or audible emergency signals or a combination of
emergency devices) to a motorist who the officer is attempting to apprehend, and that
motorist fails to comply with the signal by either maintaining his/her speed, increasing
speed, or taking other evasive action to elude the officer’s continued attempts to stop the
motorist. A pursuit is terminated when the motorist stops, or when the attempt to
apprehend is discontinued by the officer or at the direction of a competent authority.
Code 44 (Driving too Fast for Conditions or in Excess of Posted Maximum) is also
appropriate if the officer indicates a high-speed chase. Make sure to check if the officer
indicated high speed or speeding.
Head-up displays (Code “98”) present information (e.g., speed, turn signal telltales,
engine diagnostics) to a driver that appears to be displayed outside the vehicle in front
of the windshield. The image is reflected from the windshield into the driver’s field of
vision. Projection of the image occurs upward through the top of the dash in the area
behind the steering wheel. The projection system and optics are mostly below the dash.
There may be a projection area visible on the top of the dash that is either raised from
the surface or flush with the dash. The projection area would be covered with glass or

Remarks:
An involved person in an accident must maintain Person Type during the accident.
Once the unstabilized situation begins, a driver, passenger or non-motorist cannot
change Person Type until the accident stabilizes.
If a person is entering or exiting a vehicle before the unstabilized situation begins, try to
determine if the person has successfully changed type before control is lost. (i.e., a
pedestrian getting into an automobile that begins to move, a passenger stepping off of a
bus as it begins to pull away, etc.).
Codes 01, 02 and 09 are used for occupants of a vehicle for which VEHICLE and
DRIVER LEVEL forms are submitted. Code “09-Unknown Occupant Type in a Motor
Vehicle in Transport” is used when it cannot be determined if the person was the driver
or passenger, but it is known that the person was an occupant of a motor vehicle in
transport.
Code 03 - Occupant of a Motor Vehicle Not in Transport is used for occupants of
parked motor vehicles (any motor vehicle stopped off the roadway).

Code 04 - Occupant of Non-Motor Vehicle Transport Device refers to persons riding
in an animal-drawn conveyance, on an animal, or injured occupants of railway trains,
etc.
Code 05 - Pedestrian is used for all pedestrians except for those in/on pedestrian
conveyances (See code “08” below) and in buildings. A pedestrian pushing a vehicle
should be coded “05.”
Code 06 - Bicyclist is used for a two-wheel, non-motorized cycle.
Code 07 - Other Cyclist is used for unicycles and tricycles.
Code 08 - Other Pedestrians should be used for occupants of a transport device used
as equipment (working highway maintenance trucks, cherry pickers, etc.), pedestrians
using conveyances and people in buildings. Examples of pedestrian conveyances are
skateboard riders, people in wheelchairs, people on roller skates, sled riders, etc.
A dilemma arises when considering motorized wheelchairs in motion on trafficways.
Some states have passed legislation to classify operators of motorized wheelchairs as
“pedestrians.” It is fairly easy to classify them as motor vehicles in transport within the
guidelines of the ANSI D16.1 standard, but it is difficult to determine from those
guidelines that D16.1 absolutely intended that they be classified that way.
Meanwhile, there seems to be an increase in the variety of forms these devices take (if
not in the actual number in use). Some resemble 3-wheeled scooters; others small fourwheeled carts; still others look like the typical human-powered wheelchair. They are in
use by individuals who are unable to walk, who have limited walking ability, or who
need to avoid walking for reasons of health or stamina. Since these devices simply
supply a form of assisted “walking” for such persons, their legitimate users may be seen
as “other pedestrians” just as other non-motorists moving along a sidewalk, walking
with or against traffic on the edge of a road, crossing the roadway, or turning into a
driveway.
Wheelchair: Until further notice, FARS will use the term, “wheelchair” as follows:
“Wheelchair - A mobility aid, usable indoors, and designed for and used by
individuals with mobility impairments, whether operated manually or powered.”
Therefore all wheelchair users, motorized or not, are coded “08.” Use Related FactorPerson Level code “13” to further identify motorized wheelchair riders.
Code 19 - Unknown Type of Non-Motorist is used when it cannot be determined what
type of non-motorist the person is (i.e., pedestrian, bicyclist, occupant of a parked
vehicle, etc.).

Remarks:
Seating position is not applicable to non-motorists; code these “00.”
DO submit person forms for uninjured persons with SEATING POSITION codes of
“51-53, 55, or 99” unless they are uninjured bus passengers.
Use Code “51” for bus passengers (including van-based school buses and transit buses.)
Use Codes “51-53” for occupants in the back of trucks including the cargo area.
More than one person may have the same seating position; e.g., child on mother’s lap.
For motorcycles, code the driver “11,” sidecar passenger “12,” passenger behind driver
“21,” and passenger on lap of driver (in front of) “11.”
In coupes and other cars designed for only two passengers in front or in back, use codes
“11, 13, 21, or 23” when coding occupants.
The codes for ‘other’ seats (i.e., “18, 28, 38 and 48”) are used for persons lying across
the seat, for those occasions where there are two or more people sitting in the middle,
etc.
Use code “55” for persons on the exterior who are set in motion by the vehicle; e.g.,
skateboard riders who are in motion by holding on to the vehicle, etc.

Remarks:
Code restraint usage for all persons in FARS under this element.
Code this element regardless of whether the vehicle is equipped with manual systems,
automatic belts or harnesses, air bags, or any combination of these. We will determine
whether the restraint was manual or automatic via the VIN. Even if the VIN is
unknown, use this rule.
Example:
You are coding a driver in vehicle which is indicated by the PAR to have an
automatic shoulder harness and a manual belt. The police state that the shoulder
harness was used at the time of the crash, but the lap belt was not, and there was
no mention of air bag deployment or non-deployment. Code the following:
P10
P11
01 Shoulder Belt
99 – Unknown or Not Applicable
Use the Code “00 - None Used-Vehicle Occupant; Not Applicable” is used if a
vehicle occupant did not use a restraint and for non-motorists (except bicyclists and
pedal cyclists using helmets).

Code 04 - Child Restraint - There are several types of recognized child restraints.
Small, lightweight “infant-only” safety seats are designed for rear-facing only. Larger
“convertible” safety seats are used facing rear, but may be turned around to face front
when the baby grows large enough. A less familiar restraint is the safety vest, which has
a harness, but no stiff shell around the child.
Approved car booster seats (for older/larger children) come in two basic types.
Boosters with shields are for use with the vehicle’s lap belt only. Boosters without
shields are for use only with the vehicle lap and shoulder belt. These are called “belt
positioning boosters” because they position the child to fit the car’s belts better. There is
also a variation available which is a booster with a removable shield. The shield should
be used or not used depending on what belt system is available in the intended seat
position.
Code 05 - Motorcycle Helmet is used only for all types of motorized cycles and
snowmobiles (motorcycles, mopeds, minibikes, motor scooters and ATVs).
Code 06 - Bicycle Helmet is used only for bicycle and other pedalcycle riders. This
code is not used for motorcycle riders.
The coding scheme on some PARs may offer a choice, such as “seatbelt/harness” or
“lap/shoulder” but does not distinguish between “lap belt only,” “shoulder belt only,” or
“combination lap and shoulder belt.” If your PAR has such a coding scheme and the
officer checks e.g., “seat belt/harness,” then the FARS code should be “08- Restraint
Used, Type Unknown” unless the narrative clarifies which type of restraint was used.

Guidelines When Police and EMS/M.E. Differ:
Occasionally, information from EMS personnel or medical examiners (M.E.) includes
statements about restraint use or presence. If these people were in a position to have
information when the investigating officer(s) could not (e.g., EMS arrived and removed
victims from vehicles before police arrived or the medical examiner reports definite
indications of belt usage), then the EMS/M.E. assessment may override the PAR
assessment of RESTRAINT SYSTEM USE. Make sure to note the arrival times of
Police and EMS before making a decision.
Rules of thumb are as follows, unless you have information to the contrary:
If the M.E./EMS report that a restraint was used but the PAR/Police report “NOT
USED” or “UNKNOWN,” then accept the EMS/M.E. assessment. On the other hand, if
the M.E./EMS report “NOT USED” but the PAR/Police report that a restraint was
used, then try to verify the police assessment that a restraint was used. If the
PAR/Police report that a restraint was used or was not used but the EMS/M.E. report
“UNKNOWN,” then accept the Police assessment.

Codes 01-09 are used only if you have indication in the PAR or from EMS that an air
bag deployed for this occupant’s seat position (not for others in the vehicle.) There may
be multiple air bags available for this occupant’s seat position. For simplicity, these are
grouped into FRONT (“01”), SIDE (“02”) and OTHER (“07”) air bags.
Code “01, 02 or 07” is used if you have any information indicating that at least
one air bag deployed for this person from only one of these directions.
Code “08” is used if your information indicates that air bags deployed from
more than one direction (e.g., SIDE and FRONT) for this seat position.
Code “09” is used if an air bag did deploy for this person, but you have no
information on the direction from which the bag deployed.
Code 20 is used only if (the police or EMS note that) the vehicle is equipped with an air
bag (air bags) for this occupant’s position, but it (they) did not deploy in this accident.
Code 28 is used when the police or EMS state that the air bag for this occupant’s
position was switched off and did not deploy.
Code 29 is used if your information indicates that an air bag (air bags) is (are) available
for this occupant’s position, but you have no information on whether it deployed or not.
Code 30 is used for all seating positions that are not equipped with an air bag(s). Also
use this code for every seating position in vehicles that do not come equipped with air
bags in any position (e.g., motorcycles, early-model passenger cars, etc.)
Code 31 is used when information indicates that the air bag(s) for this occupant’s
position was not available in this accident because it had deployed in an earlier incident
and was never replaced.
Code 32 is used when information indicates that the air bag for this occupant was
unavailable because it had been stolen, tampered with so that it did not operate properly,
or was otherwise disabled; except by use of a cut-off switch.
Code 99 is used if it is not known whether an air bag exists for this occupant’s seating
position.

Remarks:
If no information is provided in the accident reports, assume that EXTRICATION is not
applicable.
Extrication refers to the use of equipment or other force to remove persons from the
vehicles; i.e., more than just lifting or carrying person out of wreckage. If the police
officer uses the word “extricated” to indicate occupant removal, then this is sufficient
information to use code “1,” even if no mention of equipment is made. The only
exception to this is if the analyst knows the officer used the term “extrication”
incorrectly. However, if the officer uses the term “pinned” or “wedged” or something
similar, then the officer must indicate that equipment was used to remove the occupant.
The “Unknown” code (“9”) is to be used when the officer states that the occupant is
“pinned” or “wedged,” etc., and suggests that the occupant may have been removed
with force, but does not make it clear whether equipment was used or not.

POLICE-REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT
Format: 1 numeric
Element Values:
Blank
0 No (Alcohol Not Involved)
1 Yes (Alcohol Involved)
8 Not Reported
9 Unknown (Police Reported)
Remarks:
Only use the police accident report to code these elements. Do not change the coding of
this element because a positive alcohol test is obtained. This element will be coded
independently from P18-ALCOHOL TEST TYPE/RESULTS.
Code 1 is used only if the police accident report explicitly states or implies that alcohol
was present.
If the police officer indicates that a pre-arrest breath test was given and a “positive”
indication was received, code P16 as “1.” Anytime an officer’s judgment contradicts a
pre-arrest test, the officer’s judgment will be the determining factor.
If there is no indication on the police accident report of whether alcohol was present or
not (e.g., alcohol field left blank or no statements), use code “8.”
Code 9 is used only if the police reported alcohol involvement as unknown.
There are instances when the police do not indicate in the PAR. whether alcohol was
involved or not, but they do mention that a test was given or ordered. Use code “8" for
these instances.
FOR EXAMPLE: The police may only say that an evidential test was ordered
for a driver without indicating that they suspected alcohol or what the result was.
The use of passive alcohol sensors (PAS) may also be mentioned as used by the
police, without mention of the result.
When Police Reported Alcohol Involvement (P16) is coded “8-Not Reported” or
“9-Unknown,” Method of Alcohol Determination (P17) codes “1-8” are allowed.
However, this should only happen when the method is stated by the police, but the
involvement is not mentioned at all or stated as unknown.

9 Not Reported
Remarks:
This variable is coded for each person involved in the accident. The purpose of this
variable is to record the method by which the police made the determination as to
whether alcohol was involved or not. It is used primarily when the Police Reported
Alcohol Involvement variable (P16) is coded as “0-No (Alcohol Not Involved)” or “1Yes (Alcohol Involved).”
Whenever P16 is coded “0-Alcohol Not Involved,” try to find out how the police knew
this. When P16 is coded “1-Alcohol Involved,” try to determine how the police knew
this.
If P16 is coded as “8-Not Reported” or “9-Unknown (Police Reported),” then P17 is
coded as “9-Not Reported.” If more than one method is used by the police to determine
alcohol involvement choose the method the police refer to when they record their
assessment. If more than one method is used and they do not state which method was
the basis for their alcohol determination, code the highest-ranking method used from the
hierarchy (the highest ranking is “1”; the lowest is “5”).
2001
459
Go Back
P17
1- Evidential Test (Breath, Blood, Urine)
This is coded if P16 is coded “0” or “1” and the police indicate that they ordered an
evidential test and their determination of alcohol involvement was based on the results
of that test.
An evidential test can be a breath test on a state-approved breath test device, a blood
test, or a urine test. No other tests are considered evidential.
The key in coding evidential test as the basis for the police alcohol assessment is the
ordering of the test by the police. A routine test performed by a coroner or medical
examiner that was not ordered by the police is not considered as evidential for the
purposes of the variable.
2 – Preliminary Breath Test (PBT)
This is coded if P16 is “0” or “1” and the police indicate that alcohol involvement was
based upon the results of a preliminary breath test, or PBT. Preliminary breath testing
devices are not yet considered evidential tests, but merely as tools for the police to help
them determine whether alcohol is present or not. Many PBTs only indicate whether
alcohol is present in the breath by pass (green) or fail (red) lights. Other PBTs indicate
the approximate BAC in numbers. Some PBTs are of evidential quality in some States.
But if the device was used only as a preliminary test and not the evidential test, then this
value should be coded.
The key to coding this is the definite indication by the police that a PBT was used and
was the basis (or the clinching evidence) that a driver had been drinking or not.
3 - Behavioral
This is coded if P16 is “0” or “1” and the police indicate that the basis for that alcohol
assessment was the behavior by the driver during a field sobriety test.
Examples of field sobriety tests include the gaze nystagmus test, walking in a
straight line, one leg stand, etc.
Do not confuse “3-Behavioral” with “5-Observed.”
460
2001
Go Back
P17
4 – Passive Alcohol Sensor (PAS)
This is coded if P16 is “0” or “1” and the police indicate that alcohol involvement was
based upon the results of a passive alcohol sensor, or “sniffer.”
The PAS devices available and in use by police are devices that look like flashlights and
when held within 6 inches of the driver’s mouth will detect alcohol in the breath while
the driver is talking. The PAS is not considered an evidential test nor a PBT. It is not
really a test, but a detector or an extension of the police officer’s senses. The PAS
devices are usually PASS/FAIL indicators with a red light indicating alcohol on the
breath.
The key to coding this attribute is the indication by the police that a PAS was used and
was the basis for coding “0-No” or “1-Yes” for Police Reported Alcohol Involvement.
5 - Observed
This is coded if P16-Police Reported Alcohol Involvement is “0” or “1” and the police
indicate that the basis for their alcohol assessment was some observation of the driver.
Do Not Confuse “5-Observed” with “3-Behavioral.” Examples of observations would
be:
-
smelling alcohol on the driver’s breath
staggering, slurring of speech
the driver admitting he had been drinking
other observations described by the police that would not be considered field
sobriety tests
Be careful not to simply assume that this is the appropriate code when some other
method may have been used (e.g. breath test, PBT, PAS).
8 - Other
This is coded if P16 is “0” or “1” and the police indicate that the basis for alcohol
determination was something other than the codes “1, 2, 3, 4 and 5” described above.
Examples of “8-Other” methods include:
- results of a saliva test
- results of other tissue tests
The key to coding this element is the description by the police of some other method of
alcohol determination that does not fall into codes “1-5.”
See the paragraph below on Witness Statements.
2001
461
Go Back
P17
9 – Not Reported
This is coded if P16 is “8” or “9.” It is also coded if P16 is “0” or “1” and there is no
indication in the police report or any documents as to how the police made the alcohol
assessment.
See the paragraph below on Witness Statements.
Witness Statements:
Witness Statements may or may not be used by the police to make a determination of
alcohol involvement. If the police did use witness statements alone to make a
determination of alcohol involvement, use code “8-Other.”
If the police mention, but did not use witness statements and there is no other indication
of how a determination was made, use code “9 -Not Reported.”
There are instances when the police do not indicate in the PAR whether alcohol was
involved or not, but they do mention that a test was given or ordered.
FOR EXAMPLE : The police may only say that an evidential test was ordered
for a driver without indicating that they suspected alcohol or what the result was.
The use of passive alcohol sensors (PAS) may also be mentioned as used by the
police, without mention of the result.
Codes 1 - 8 are allowed to be used for METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION
(P17) when POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT (P16) is coded as “8Not Reported” or “9-Unknown,” if this fits the case.
This should only happen when the method is stated by the police, but the involvement is
not mentioned at all or stated as unknown.

Note that there are test types for Whole Blood (“1”), Blood Plasma or Serum (“5”) and
Blood Clot (“6”). If the Coroner, Medical Examiner or State Lab reports that the test
was a “blood” test, this most likely refers to Whole Blood, but you should try to verify
this. If the test was performed on whole blood, or if you know the results are already
converted to a BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION (BAC), then code TEST

TYPE as “1-Whole Blood” and code the actual value BAC in TEST RESULT (i.e., If
the BAC result is 0.00%, then enter “00” as the code). If the report does not state the
actual BAC, but does state that it is less than 0.01%, then code ALCOHOL TEST
RESULT as “00.”
ALCOHOL TEST RESULT of “01” is a low probability and will raise an error flag.
Any BAC test result reported to you in 3 decimal places should be truncated, but not
rounded. For example, a reported “.099” becomes “.09.” The reason for truncating is
that the accuracy of most testing devices is only reliable to two decimal places, so the
third decimal place is meaningless.
For fatalities, no time constraints are placed on when the alcohol test is taken. For nonfatalities, you should consider whether the test was done within a reasonable time after
the accident, although no time constraints are placed on when the alcohol test is taken.
Computed Estimates of BACs
An expert may calculate an estimate of what the BAC would have been at the time of
the crash (i.e., toxicologist uses the lapse time from crash and the victim’s weight to
calculate the BAC). You may accept these results if the following are all true:
· Results were reported by someone with the authority in your state to make this
determination; and
· the result is considered official in your state; and
· you can support the result with official documentation or it is reported on the
PAR (may vary from state-to-state).
If BAC is not known, but you have the % alcohol from a different sample, then
code TEST TYPE for the type of sample taken and code TEST RESULT as the actual
% alcohol from that sample.
For example, if BAC is not known, but:
a. If % alcohol from a urine sample is known, then code TEST TYPE as “3”
and code the actual % alcohol from the urine sample in TEST RESULT.
b. If % alcohol from a vitreous test is known, then code TEST TYPE as “4”
and code the actual % alcohol from vitreous in TEST RESULT.
Breath Tests:
Code TEST TYPE as “2” if you have a result from an evidential breath test (a breath
test performed on a State-approved breath test device). Usually, results from a
Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) device are not considered evidential. Some PBTs are of
evidential quality in some States; but if the device was used only as a preliminary test
and not an evidential test, then do not use code “2.”
Usually, if more than one type of test is performed on the same person, a Whole Blood
Test, a Blood Plasma or Blood Serum Test is preferred over other tests. There is an
exception if you have information that casts clear doubt on the validity or reliability of
the Blood Test. This might include information that:
464
2001

P18
the Blood Test. This might include information that:
the test was spoiled;
the sample was contaminated;
the test was performed on a live victim unreasonably long after the accident; or
the lab, coroner, or medical examiner expresses doubt in their result from a
blood test.
Alcohol Test Result Code “97” refers to alcohol content tests that were performed but
the results are unknown.
If you have an alcohol test result, but you don’t know the type of test, then code
ALCOHOL TEST TYPE as “9” and code the result in ALCOHOL TEST RESULT. If
you don’t know whether this person was tested for alcohol, then code ALCOHOL TEST
TYPE as “9” and code ALCOHOL TEST RESULT as “99.”
If no test was performed on this person, or if this person refused to take a test for
alcohol, then code ALCOHOL TEST TYPE as “0.” Code ALCOHOL TEST RESULT
as “96” or “95,” accordingly.

Remarks:
Definition: ANSI D16.1; 2.3.1 and 2.3.2
Each case must have at least one Person Level form with INJURY SEVERITY coded
“4.”
Code 4, “Fatal Injury,” must only be used if the death occurred within thirty 24-hour
time periods from the time of the accident. Every effort should be made to determine
that the DEATH DATE was within thirty 24-hour time periods from the ACCIDENT
TIME.
Code 6, “Died Prior To Accident,” refers to non-motor vehicle fatalities that are
involved in an accident resulting in a motor vehicle fatality; e.g., a heart attack victim
that is involved in an accident in which another person dies.
In suicide incidents, use the following criteria:
1. If the only fatality is the suicide victim and it can be ascertained that the accident
was a suicide, do not code the case.
2. If other fatalities occur, code the case as appropriate. The suicide victim’s
INJURY SEVERITY should be coded “6-Died Prior to Accident” if the death
occurred at the time of the accident (or prior) or “0” if the death occurred after
the accident.

Valid Military Time
Known Hour but Unknown Minutes
Unknown
Remarks:
If minutes are unknown, code the actual hour and “99” for the minutes. One minute
after midnight is coded “0001.”
Normally, the medical examiner or coroner is source of data for death time. If there are
not data inconsistencies or errors, use the official death time as recorded on the Death
Certificate. Do not change the official death time without good cause.
If it is known that the person died at the scene and the official death time (on the Death
Certificate) is known to be in error, the accident time is the appropriate death time to be
used. It is possible for a coroner to pronounce a person dead at the scene and differ from
the police-reported accident time. There is no reason to change this pronounced dead
time in favor of the accident time, unless there are known errors in the data.
How to Code Midnight:
In general, code midnight as “2400.” However, there may be confusion over which day
midnight falls into. It is key to remember that in FARS, midnight or 2400 is taken to be
the beginning of a new day, and never the end of a day. This may not be the practice
followed in your sources. Therefore, you have to determine which part of the day is
being considered in your sources.
End of Day: If your sources give you a DEATH DATE and are consistent in talking
about the end of that day, when they give the death time as “midnight,” “12:00midnight,” “24:00” or “00:00,” then you should code DEATH TIME as “2359.”
Beginning of Day: If your sources give a DEATH DATE and are consistent in
referring to the beginning or early moments of that day when they give a death time,
code midnight as “2400.”

Code the sequence number from the death certificate as assigned by your State Vital
Statistics Department. The sequence number is six digits in length and is part of the
State File Number.
The format for coding the numbers is as follows:
First four digits _ _ _ _
Next two digits _ _
Last six digits _ _ _ _ _ _
City (where death occurred)

If the fatal crash occurred in your State, but the death occurred in a hospital of another
State, please attempt to obtain the death certificate from that State and code the City and
State where the death occurred.
If a person dies at the accident scene, code the appropriate city code or location code for
the accident location. Code “0000” if the location is not within a city, and no
geographical location code is available.
If the location is not within a city, but a geographical location code is available, use the
location code.
If a person is transported by EMS and dies en-route or at the hospital, use the city code
for the hospital’s location.
Code the exact sequence number as indicated on the death certificate. If the sequence
number is less than six-digits long (e.g., it is 12345 (five digits)) right-justify your coded
number and zero-fill the first (and/or second digit) (_0_ _1_ _2_ _3_ _4_ _5_).
Note that if you receive a copy of the death certificate from the Medical Examiner or
Coroner, it may not contain the sequence number. The sequence number needed is the
one assigned by your State Vital Statistics or Vital Records Department, which is
subsequently sent to the National Center for Health Statistics. In those instances, leave
the sequence number blank until you are able to obtain it in a follow-up effort with your
Vital Statistics Department.
If the sequence number contains a letter in it (e.g., N12345), simply ignore the letter and
code the numbers only (right-justified), (e.g. _0_ _1_ _2_ _3_ _4_ _5_).
If the death certificate number cannot be obtained, “9-fill” this element.
If the death certificate number can be obtained, but is not yet received, leave this
element blank until the number is available.

Remarks:
Race and Hispanic Origin should be obtained from the death certificate only.
THIS ELEMENT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE CODING FORMS: It is
presented on-screen by the M.D.E. System.
Both RACE and HISPANIC ORIGIN are coded for fatal victims only (INJURY
SEVERITY on this person must be coded “4 - Fatal”). If INJURY SEVERITY is coded
other than “4” on the Person Level, the M.D.E. System will automatically enter “00’s”
in both the RACE and HISPANIC ORIGIN fields.
In general, the actual race will be written literally (i.e., white, black, Chinese, etc.) on
the death certificate. Hispanic Origin comes directly from a check box. Within that box,
if Hispanic Origin is “yes” a specific location (i.e., Cuba, Puerto Rico or Mexico) is
indicated.
For translating the entries on the death certificate, refer to the table, “Detail Race and
Hispanic Origin for FARS.” This table is based on the guidelines provided by the
Center for Disease Control (CDC). The only exception is Hawaiian. Any race with
Hawaiian is coded Hawaiian (See code “06-Hawaiian”).
DETAIL RACE
Code “01-White” should be coded for persons listed as White, Mexican, Puerto Rican,
Cuban and Caucasian for race.
Code “03-American Indian” includes American, Aleut, Alaskan, Canadian and Eskimo.
Code “06-Hawaiian” should be coded for any person listed as Hawaiian, even if another
race is listed as well.
Code “19-Other Indian” includes South and Central America and any other Indians,
except American or Asian Indians.
Code “68-Other Asian or Pacific Islander” is used when an “Other Asian” or “Pacific
Island” race is specified, and it is other than Chinese (Code “04”), Japanese (Code
“05”), Hawaiian (Code “06”), Filipino (Code “07”), Asia Indian (Code “18”), Korean
(Code “28”), Samoan (Code “38”), Vietnamese (Code “48”), or Guamanian (Code
“58”).
Code “78-Asian or Pacific Islander, No Specific (individual) Race” is used when the
death certificate or report lists “Asian” for race.
Code “97-Multiple Races” is used when the death certificate indicates more than one
race without specifying the individual races (e.g., “mixed,” “multiple races,” “multiracial,”etc.)
520
2001
Go Back
SP3
Code “98-All Other Races” is used if an individual race listed on the death certificate or
report is not found on the translation table.
If more than one race is listed on the death certificate or report, code the race entry
listed first. An example is “American Indian/White,” which should be coded “03American Indian.” Again, Hawaiian is the exception. (See code “06-Hawaiian.”)
HISPANIC ORIGIN
Code “06-Hispanic Origin Not Specified, or Other Origin.” This includes when you
know they are Hispanic, but the specific origin is not specified (e.g., Hispanic, Latino,
Latin American, South American).
Code “99-Unknown.” This person could be Hispanic, or not. You don’t have enough
information to determine whether or not they are Hispanic. (E.g., all you know is that
Race is “White,” “Black,” “European,” or “Indian,” and no other information is
provided.)
If you receive a listing from the Vital Statistics Department, be sure you request a
translation table for the code structure. For FARS, we tried to match the coding
structure to the Department of Health’s (DOH) coding structure for these elements;
however, it was necessary to modify DOH’s structure slightly in order to be consistent
with other FARS codes.
